[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]
It’s only a numerical number of kids who attend (not accepted but enrolled) at those three schools: Harvard, Princeton and MIT.

What differentiates SFS from GDS is that GDS sent 13 kids to Harvard while SFS sent only 7. This seems like a weird comparison because GDS is pretty widely known for having a lot of Harvard legacies and I believe SFS sends more to Yale. [/quote]until you overlap that with legacy, athletics and UrM status the stats are useless. Love to know what department was applied to as well (not that some students don’t switch or transfer later).[/quote]
