[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bullis Class of 2021:

Brown: 1
Cornell: 2
Dartmouth: 3
Harvard: 2
Penn: 3
Yale: 1

SJC does not appear to provide year-specific matriculation data.[/quote]

How many of these are athletic recruits? All, right? How many were URM athletic recruits?

I think it’s important to provide that specific context in all of these many, many threads.  Also legacy info.

Not just for Bullis but since we’re here … the above list, without context, would lead the uninitiated to think that Bullis is some sort of academic powerhouse and preparation for the world’s best academic institutions. When in fact is an average high school with several well-oiled sports pipelines.

Same phenomenon happens at our big 3 — but the difference is that at our school there are additional buckets of Ivy-bound kids who aren’t athletic recruits or even legacies [/quote]

I’m fully prepared to believe that most Bullis Ivy-bound kids are athletic recruits or URM athletic recruits.

I suspect the same is true for most other schools, including your “Big 3” school. Unless a school breaks down admit/matriculation lists by recruited athletes, legacies, donor hooks, etc., that’s just what I’m going to think. Does your kid’s school publish those data?[/quote]
