[quote=Anonymous]So not true. Here we go again. Universities are happy to take more than one or two kids from Sidwell, if more than two kids apply that are all competitive. Last year Yale took 11 from Sidwell. Everyone acknowledges that last year was unusual, but if you look at where Sidwell kids go to college, there are many many colleges and universities that accept 4 or 5 routinely. There is no quota, and it is not disadvantageous, as many people think, to be one of many applicants from Sidwell. The top universities and colleges look at the whole applicant and decide if that student is a good fit for them. They do not compare kids from the same school and rank them by grades and scores. For example, a student with lower scores might be accepted because she is an outstanding writer, or a kid with great reference letters may get in with a slightly lower GPA than another applicant.[/quote]
