[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can look up Sidwell and GDS at Polarislist.com which ranks high schools by how many kids they sent to Harvard, Princeton and MIT in 2018-2020.

Sidwell sent 9, ranked 148
GDS sent 16, ranked 66

Notably MIT which doesn’t give legacy preference accepted 1 kid and that was from Sidwell.[/quote]

Sidwell kids generally don't apply to either Princeton or MIT, so if that is what the ranking is based on, then it is pretty self-selective.[/quote]

+1. Most kids don’t apply to Princeton or MIT (bc they don’t have any chance of getting in) so yeah, it is a self selective.[/quote]
And yet the comparison was:

MIT
SFS: 1
GDS: 0

Princeton
SFS: 2
GDS: 3[/quote]

The data is inaccurate.  In Sidwell website, there is no MIT in the past 5 years.  LOL

The data from the website comes from the colleges themselves, so more likely to be accurate than what Sidwell puts in their website. [/quote]

How is the data collected?
We obtain our data by searching through a variety of online and offline sources that allow us to map high school attendance with college attendance.
There is no one source for this data, which means that the data is collected through rigorous exploration.[/quote]
