[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Previous posters stated 10 SFS students were accepted early at Yale.  How many were recruited for sorts teams or other specific talents?  Ten students seems like an unusually high number these days coming from any day school unless something else is at play (14 would be about one percent of the freshman class).  Thanks. [/quote]

None were athletic recruits. My child was one of the accepted, so I know from my child all the kids accepted. This senior class had 23 or 24 kids accepted at Ivies for just the early round, plus a few at Stanford, Chicago, Duke and other top schools. But I think this class is unusual. Certainly the parents all were shocked at the acceptance numbers from Yale and Penn. Wouldn't expect any regular decisions to those schools though. That's a lot for one school, and there are so many good schools just in this area. FWIW, no Penn accepted students were athletic recruits either.[/quote]

20% of the class accepted at Ivies for Early Decision is good, but not unheard of for this area (there are several other schools that not infrequently will hit the 20% mark for Ivy ED).  The fact that 10 students are going to Yale is pretty amazing, though.  Congrats to the kids, Sidwell has a long and excellent history at Yale and it's obviously continuing.[/quote]

Agreed on this...but, please note that there are indeed a few legacies in those numbers...believe the point or not...legacies still do matter...[/quote]
