[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Similarities:
-Neither school offers AP classes

Differences:
-GDS: The AP exam is NOT proctored on campus (you will have to find a testing center on your own).
-Sidwell: The AP exam is administered on campus.

-GDS: There is no US cafeteria.
-Sidwell: There is an US cafeteria, and it gets pretty good reviews.

-GDS: Students are limited to applying to 10 colleges.
-Sidwell: There is no limit placed on the number of college applications. [/quote]

GDS is now limited to 12 colleges.  GDS had incredible college admissions results last year but we'll see what happens this year.[/quote]

Last year’s GDS class was an amazing bunch. [b]And all but one of those kids who got into HYP were legacy or double legacy or hooked [/b][/quote]

This describes the Sidwell graduating class of my DC as well but extends beyond HYP to Top10  and if you add two more unhooked kids it extends to T20 too.[/quote]

This wasn’t Sidwell’s c/o 2024. [b]I can think of at least 4 students who went to Ivies who weren’t hooked.[/b] [/quote]
No, you cannot. [/quote]

Yes, I can: 2 of the Penn students, 1 of the Harvard students, and 1 student at either Brown, Columbia, Cornell, or Dartmouth (if I specify the school its too easy to identify the student).

Now what?[/quote]
They were hooked [/quote]

I know them personally, and they were not hooked. However, I’m curious to hear why you (incorrectly) think so. Why do you think each of these 4 students were hooked? [/quote]
