[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid’s HS last year had 2 Columbia, Princeton, Dartmouth, Penn, Cornell, 3 Brown, [b]3 Duke, [/b]6 Georgetown, 5 Notre Dame, 3 U. South. California, [b]2 Duke[/b], Pomona, 7 Boston College, Williams, Amherst, Northeastern, Hopkins, 3 Purdue, 7 UVA…to name a few.  This is pretty typical every year.  It’s larger- but the top 40 or so kids all go to T10-T20 schools. Yet they don’t go on and like GDS every year.[/quote]

Which high school is this? 
And was it 2 or 3 who matriculated to Duke?[/quote]

Sorry 2 Duke. Gonzaga. Taken out of Gonzaga’s magazine mailing. Not all kids posted on Instagram. And, no, they weren’t all athletes. [/quote]

But Gonzaga has almost 250 seniors! That’s nearly twice the number of GDS seniors. From that perspective (based on percentages), GDS tends to do much better than Gonzaga.[/quote]

So what ?  The total number of students is the same going to these elite schools.  Gonzaga serves a wide range of socioeconomic and varying backgrounds.  They don’t strive to select solely based on $/scires.  They want a diverse student body.  But, the top 40 or students have the same or better outcomes as the Big 3s. [/quote]

So if Gonzaga had 500 seniors, and GDS’ number remained at 125, you think both schools are on equal footing if they each send 40 students to T20 universities?!?

I don’t have the time or desire to explain why there is a very big difference between Gonzaga and GDS’ college outcomes. Be well. [/quote]

Gonzaga has 224 Seniors, not 500.[/quote]

**Sigh**
Reading comprehension is fundamental. [/quote]
