Lots of admits along the range of Rice, WashU, Pitzer, etc. But lots of ED deferrals and rejections as well. GDS is having similar results. My Sidwell senior didn’t do ED. For all of this talk of accommodations and such, I really haven’t much about it, and we’ve been here since K. Maybe we travel in different circles. [/quote]

This seems like a completely normal an expected outcome for a school like Sidwell. [/quote]

And not so different from my kid's public high school to be quite honest.[/quote]

Public school my kid graduated from has better college acceptances w/o legacies, donors, connections etc.[/quote]

If this is true then all the whiners on this board who complain about all the unqualified hooked kids taking their precious kid’s spot should STFU, because clearly public schools are getting tons of unhooked kids into the top schools. [/quote]

They do stfu.   That is the point.  There are not braggy threads from every high school about future college plans on dcum.  Always a thread about this high school.[/quote]

Are you kidding me? Check any thread on this board and see how many parents whine about their unhooked white UMC kid not getting into college when all these hooked kids are stealing their spots. If public schools get all these kids in why do you whine like this?[/quote]

Please link us to all the DCUM threads set up to report the "amazing" college be plans of graduates from public high schools [/quote]

Let me use small words for your benefit (it’s a shame we can’t  use pictures).

I wrote: Check any thread on this board and see how many parents whine about their unhooked white UMC kid not getting into college when all these hooked kids are stealing their spots.

And your response is to ask for all the threads about these amazing college results?!?

It’s really quite simple so even you can grasp it.

Public school parents both ritualistically complain about their more deserving children being denied admission and how the college admissions game is totally skewed against the average unhooked applicant and then with the same breath say that their public school admissions are better than Sidwell and all without hooks. All we want is for you to pick a position and stick to it.  Frankly I think it’s true that public schools get plenty of kids into great colleges (although not all as unhooked as you’d like to believe), it’s the constant whining that is completely irritating.

Admissions are difficult everywhere and congrats to all the great kids that access to hese top colleges.

The complaint discussed is about starting DCUM threads to brag.  Just drool over the Instagram posts like everyone else and move on instead of carrying on on dcum.[/quote]

No that was the invented complaint. You know you can click to show the quotes. This is what was said

“Public school my kid graduated from has better college acceptances w/o legacies, donors, connections etc.“

If that is true then why all the whining and blame? Why the constant kvetching about URMs?[/quote]

Why is there a thread DCUM about this particular high school and the "amazing" ED results?[/quote]

Because, IMHO, the poster was a troll.[/quote]

“OP” was a troll.[/quote]
