[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a kid who is a sophomore at a Big 3 and by that let's say I mean St Albans/NCS, GDS, Sidwell or Maret.  I have heard through my school grapevine that this year the kids at the elite privates are having terrible results-
 especially the unhooked kids.  I have heard that they are negatively affected by test-optional, the elimination of AP's and grade deflation.

Ok please tell me your experiences- Big 3 parents only please...I am not interested in hearing how well your W school kid did, or how stupid you think I am for paying private school tuition.[/quote]

OP,

What you were hearing were results after the ED round which really were shockingly awful.  But things have since settled down in the ED2 and RD rounds and some are hopeful for wait list movement.  At my son's school, here is what I can gather.

Harvard (multiple), Yale (multiple), Princeton (multiple), Columbia, Dartmouth (multiple), Cornell (multiple), Chicago (multiple), Bates, Boston College, Bowdoin (multiple), Berkeley, Denver, Duke, Indiana, McGill, Miami, Michigan, Northwestern, Notre Dame, Pomona, Richmond, Rollins, St. Andrews (multiple), Temple, Tulane, UCLA, UNC, UT, UVA,  Wake, Wash U (multiple), Wesleyan, West Point, Washington and Lee (multiple), Williams, Wisconsin
