[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don't know how many Sidwell parents on this forum have or know senior students. Class of 2022 is one of the strongest but ED/EA results seem very poor this year. Most of us send our kids to SFS for quality education. Sooner or later your kids will be a senior. Parents should express our real concern and interests while paying increasing tuitions.[/quote]

I don't see where the current senior class is having a poor year with colleges. Something like 25-30% got into their ED's. A bunch of kids have had positive results on EA's and ED2's are coming out over the next few weeks. It is pretty much on par with peer schools and previous years results.

But not for ordinary students especially EA/ED top 20/LAC[/quote]

What is the admit rate so far for SFS seniors? What is the admit rate nationally for these schools? Compare the two numbers and you wlil see how well the current senior class is doing. Do you really expect most of the grade to have been admitted ED? It doesn't work like that.[/quote]

+1 People are acting like not getting in ED is some mark of failure, but that was never intended to be used for most students -- so people are surprised with tens of thousands of students get deferred to RD where they should have applied in the first place. [/quote]

Many SFS seniors got rejected (not deferred) from their ED school.[/quote]

and?

Life happens. Do you expect that all seniors from one particular school will have 100% acceptances or deferrals in an environment that under 5% admissions is the norm?[/quote]

No. I expect that all seniors from one particular school will get good advice and support from the college counseling office. Which is not the case at Sidwell, as demonstrated by the comments here from parents of seniors.[/quote]

There are 130+ kids in the class.

There are like 2 people here complaining.

Look, I get it. Your kid got rejected or deferred ED. Guess what, so do about 99% of the rest of the applicants. That isn't Sidwell fault or your kids fault. Blaming the CCO because 53,000 kids applied to Brown ED and Sidwell got shut out for acceptances is ridiculous.[/quote]

I’m guessing that you don’t have a current senior. My kid was neither rejected nor deferred ED. But many seniors believe that the CCO has done a poor job and disserved the class. Even kids who got in ED have that view.[/quote]
