[quote=Anonymous]I've seen recent college matriculation results from schools such as Roxbury Latin, Andover, Sidwell, Landon, and St. Albans.  At every school, there's a very wide range of selectivity in the college matriculation list; what the OP saw in terms of the range of institutions on the NCS list is just how the college application world looks these days.  The most sought after colleges are looking for greater socio-economic and geographic diversity (including international) and that now works somewhat against these East Coast schools and the corresponding population.

Bottom line, attendance at any of these very excellent independent schools in our area is not an automatic ticket into a top college.  The education is very strong, they will be well prepared when they get to college, but it's a mistake to go the private school route expecting an advantage in admissions.

Bottom line 2.0 -- if you're otherwise interested in NCS for a quality all-girls education, don't cross it off the list because of the college matriculation list.[/quote]
