[quote=Anonymous]I keep seeing posts like this. I’m not trying to start a public vs private debate, but at our DC’s small private (non Big 3), the placement ranges from great to solid. Is everyone going to their “dream school”? No, but there isn’t one one the list that would be a disappointment if it’s where DC got accepted and felt they could be happy. Over the past 2 cycles, by DC’s private HS matriculations for the middle 50% (based on college rankings not class rank, which they don’t do) are below.  FWIW, the school probably had no scholarship athletes.  It’s a small school (graduating class of 40-45).  The top quartile are going to T25s/T20 SLACs (e.g., Columbia, Cornell, Chicago, Williams, Haverford, Hopkins, Vanderbilt, CMU, Notre Dame, UCLA, UVA, Mich etc). For the middle 50%, below are ALL of the colleges (not a sampling) for the past 2 years (in no particular order):

USC
UNC
Wake
UCSB
BC
W&M (x3)
NYU
GATech (x4)
UC Davis
Case Western
BU (x2)
Villanova (x2)
Northeastern
UMD (x2)
Holy Cross
Purdue (x2)
RPI

Bottom 25% of colleges are schools like these (which still seem more than solid to me).
Pitt
GWU
VT
Lafayette
Gettysburg
Temple
Clemson
San Diego
Indiana
Colorado
UVM
RIT
St. Louis
Alabama
VCU
Embry Riddle
Loyola MD
