[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you are the top 25% of your class you will get decent counseling from the school Jr and Sr year, as well the top athletes with OK grades. 
Everyone else will get the small SLAC (esp boys), U of Vermont, and Elon pitch. [/quote]

As a Sidwell parent with a not-top-of-the-class kid this gives me chills [/quote]

This should not give you chills. If so, you’re delusional. If your child is not near the top of the class, the Sidwell name alone is not going to get your child into a TOP school. Sidwell will get your child into a mid level school that he/she is probably still not qualified for. So that’s what you’re paying for. The chance to get into a mid level SLAC or U Vermont etc. because your average kid coming from your local public might be lucky to get into Towson. [/quote]

Sorry, I was not clear. I'm in no way delusional. The part that I find relatively upsetting is the implication that if you're not in the top 25% of class, you won't get decent counseling from the school. Did I misunderstand that?  Believe me, I know my kid's limitations.[/quote]
