[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is literally the most hilarious post ever. My kid transferred from Bullis to a Big 3. He had straight A's with no effort at Bullis. Getting B's at Big 3. Bullis grade inflation is through the roof - the fact is kids are not as academically gifted but they are better athletes. So no surprise grade inflation plus athletes= some good colleges. The real problem is that the Big 3 schools need to wake up and deal with the grade deflation that is hurting Sidwell kids in this new common app world[/quote]

Based on 2023 college admissions results, Sidwell seniors are not suffering “in this new common app world.” Eighty percent of Sidwell’s ~125 seniors have posted on Instagram. At least eighteen (18) Sidwell seniors are heading to MIT or Ivies (including Barnard). For the misinformed: Barnard is one of four undergraduate colleges of Columbia University, so I will not debate anyone on the college’s status. Argue with yourself.

On the other hand, Bullis has between 130-140 students, but the school only has 9 binding/committed Ivy admits (including Barnard). There were only 12 non-binding Ivy admits, out of 508 total non-binding admissions. Unless Bullis has 500+ seniors (which it doesn’t), that’s quite unimpressive. I guarantee those 12 non-binding admits belong to no more than 4 students. So, a total of ~13 students admitted to Ivies/equivalents is no match for Sidwell’s 18+ (because 25 Sidwell students still haven’t posted).

Comparing Sidwell and Bullis is like comparing apples and tires. There is simply no comparison. However, Bullis parents can dream…

But these admits are mostly hooked....[/quote]
