[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That's an aggregate list. I think PPs are talking about which individuals ended up where?[/quote]

Which is only the business of the students. It is weird that there is a demand to know what students when to what specific schools. If it isn't your kid or a friend of the family (in which case, you would know) what difference does it make?

These aggregate lists provide enough of a sample for people to figure out generally where kids go to college.[/quote]

No school makes a list of where individual students matriculate available to anyone. If the kids want to post where they're going on a class Instagram account or something like that, that's their choice, but the school has no business making that information available.[/quote]

Most schools absolutely publish such a list in their magazine.

As we are beginning our own college exploration process, my Sidwell junior has commented that it would be helpful to see the destinations of last year's senior class, to give them perspective on where students ended up generally and also specifically to see where students they looked up to and admire are in school. That is an aspect of what peer leadership is all about, to the question of what difference does it make.[/quote]

What difference does it make where the admired student went to school?  What if they decided to go to Clemson instead of an ivy?  Will your Junior think less of them or follow in their footsteps?  [/quote]

Why doesn't Sidwell publish a list like [b]most[/b] other schools do?[/quote]
NP here (and not affiliated with Sidwell). Which schools publish a list of where individual students are going? One poster above said NCS doesn’t. I haven’t heard of any others, either. I’m not trying to be snarky, just genuinely curious. I would be surprised if it’s “most.”[/quote]
