[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How was college placement in 2012?

Did it improve over years' past?[/quote]

30% of the Bullis class of 2012 [b]are attending[/b] top 35 (USNWR) liberal arts schools or national universities including: Brown, Carnegie Mellon, Cornell (2), Dartmouth, Georgetown (4), Hamilton, Haverford, Michigan (5), NYU (2), UNC Chapel Hill, Princeton, Trinity, Tufts, Vanderbilt (2), UVA (4), Washington and Lee, Wash U (2), Wesleyan and Yale.

College matriculation for class of 2011 was quite good but there weren't as many Ivies.[/quote]

The USNW rankings for national universities and liberal arts schools are separate -- 35 schools in each category.  So 30% of Bullis students are attending the top 70 schools. If you flip the stat, 70% of the graduating class are NOT attending the top 70 college destinations.[/quote]

Your statement is incoherent.

Any of the schools I've listed are in the top 35 of their respective rankings - either Liberal Arts Colleges or National Universities. A third of the class attending top 35 schools is impressive in anyone's book except yours maybe.[/quote]

Let's restate.  There are two lists: Liberal Arts Colleges and National Universities.  You appear to have counted the 70 total colleges/universities that make into the top 35 on either list, and then are trumpeting that 30% of Bullis students were able to get into these 70 schools.  That also means 70% of Bullis couldn't get into the top 70 colleges/universities in the US.  Quite underwhelming.[/quote]

Repeating the same thing over and over iand flawed logic s a sign of Alzheimer's Disease. [/quote]

Not sure why you think the logic is flawed.  The fact that a significant majority of the kids at Bullis can't even get into one of the top 70 colleges or universities in the USA is clear.  What's funny is that the poster thinks that 30% of students getting into 70 colleges is some sort of great record.  Also not sure why someone would make an Alzheimer's crack -- that is an awfully nasty way to go.  Low level, Bullis mom, very low level.[/quote]
