[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Roughly 40% of Ivy+ admissions goes to private school.  There is literally research on this.  Look it up.  Obviously, your chances are better from private.  Anyone with basic math skills understands this. [/quote]

And those privates school is not in DMV area, and most likely not your kid private school.
Privates Ivy feeder HS is mostly in the northeast/NY area, they are highly selective boarding school.
And just pick a random private school here will not give you better chance to ivy.[/quote]

Sidwell is definitely an Ivy+ feeder. They’re sending approximately 30% of the grade to Ivy+ universities this year. When you’re sending 30-35% of your students, every year, to 12 of the most highly selective universities in the country, you’re a feeder school. [/quote]

Pp is a moron.  All of the big3 are feeders.  It’s just shocking to me that parents actually truly believe otherwise.  Whatever. [/quote]
LOL
No, they are not.
The Ivy feeders are schools like Boston Latin, Phillips Academy,  Stuy, Exeter, Lawrenceville,  Harvard Westlake, Bronx sciences etc...

In my opinion, any school that regularly sends at least one kid to every Ivy every year is an Ivy Feeder
Sidwell fits comfortably into this definition.

Schools like Lawrenceville and Boston Latin predominantly send their kid to a single Ivy.
Lawrenceville without Princeton would look much worse than Sidwell without Princeton.
Same for Boston Latin without Harvard.
But maybe that is what you mean by feeder, their students get in when they wouldn't have gotten in from another high school.

Are you sure you are comfortable by that definition? Then many public HS in UMC area here will fit that definition, for sure like W schools, Langley, McLean, Oakton HS.[/quote]
