[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's about fit and your child's needs, not about outcomes. [b]If you're interested in Sidwell because of college admissions, you're not choosing a school for the right reasons.[/b][/quote] Why is this such a bad thing? Don't we all want our kids to go to the best colleges? We all know the name on your degree matters to getting into the most elite professions. It is what it is, why can't we just acknowledge that?[/quote] I say this as someone who had a dc in private as the large area high school was not for them. Quite a few students from the big public high school have gone to elite colleges and universities. Choose private for many reasons but not simply for a “ best college” or elite profession. Also, for most “ elite” professions, I have found it is the graduate school which really matters.[/quote]
