[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How can Sidwell's college admissions with their legacies, URMs and athletes have a worse outcome than a public high school like TJ? [/quote]

TJ is still a crapshoot, trust me. Every year they have 150+ kids apply to each of Harvard, Stanford, MIT, Princeton, UPenn, Duke, Columbia. Each of those schools will send out at most 15 acceptances, [b]many of which are for the same top kids getting into multiple of these schools[/b]. At least Sidwell has more structure and organization among their counseling that doesn’t lead to a free-for-all.[/quote]
This is a great point and it mirrors my own HS experience. There were a few kids that got all of the awards and collected multiple Ivy acceptances and then a drop off with everyone else going to state schools.

Sidwell is trying to maximize chances for all students, which is very different than having fewer students with more exceptional outcomes.

ED helps with this a bit.  Can only ED to one school[/quote]
