[quote=Anonymous]The posters are being a bit defensive here. If 3-4 is normative, and 11 is extraordinary the attribution analysis is not possibly that Sidwell just had the greatest applicants in the pile. This is a school that declines over 3,000 HS valedictorians each year. Accepting that 1 was sports, 3 were legacies that would to me impute sons or daughters of head's of state, senator kin, etc. On any given year Yale could burst and go 10+ from any Founders league boarding prep or St Albans or Harvard Westlake in Los Angeles to throw a list out there. In the data, you don't see that though...especially when you pick the nit on WHY there was a bounce on a given year. Sidwell is one fine school, but to believe that the merits of one class were so profound and special that it had to go 11 rather than 3-4 is a bridge too far. The admissions ecosystem doesn't allow for it unless there are serious concentrated hooks in one year.[/quote]
