[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In any given year, my guess is that Big 3 schools are sending at least 50 graduates to Ivy League schools.[/quote]

I don't believe it is anywhere near that high.  [/quote]

I think talking about all schools together.  Yes, probably close to 50 kids to Ivies in total - meaning add up all the kids that Sidwell, GDS, NCS and STA are sending and I bet it is close to 50 (figure 10 from NCS and STA respectively, and then 15 each from Sidwell and GDS). I see 15 on the GDS insta and assume that isn’t everyone.[/quote]
Yep, and my sense is that if you put up the college matriculations for all graduating seniors at the so-called "Big 3" schools against those of the 500+ valedictorians from Mississippi, the valedictorian group as a whole would be "worse" judging solely on US News rankings (i.e., not actually worse but I wanted to use some set standard however flawed). I have no way of knowing for sure though.[/quote]

This is such a stupid comment.  Most valedictorians from Mississippi would not even apply to Ivy League universities let alone choose to go to one over an SEC school, an honors college at a state flagship or the full ride offer to Ole Miss, or some other college within a days drive from home.
