[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Cornell loves public school kids. Applied from both public and private. Public school kid less impressive academically at Jackson Reed vs. my private school kid. Cornell took the JR one Potomac.  This happens too often. [/quote]

Cornell took a lot of JR kids this year.

It will be interesting to see how the JR kids do in general at college (not specifically this cohort but the grade at large). there are some true rockstars but also lots of kids who got straight As for not doing much of anything. they were the benefactors of Covid grading (no grades given less than a B for kids who turned in anything during those 18 months) and those standards have not really returned to normal since. grades remain crazily inflated.  This mostly just hurts the high achievers at JR because the pool of top students is diluted with kids who don't belong there. It will be interesting to see if their performance at college impacts future admissions. 
Signed, JR and private school parent [/quote]

Oh please - we can all say the same about our private school and covid and the insane amount of outside "help" these kids got from parents and tutors. In my son's class at Sidwell, every project done is part parent's effort. Wonder if these kids are brining their parents to college.  We refuse to play that game and complained once to teachers and they said they can't stop it but the do know it happens. [/quote]

Wonder we are in the same “Sidwell”.  LOL[/quote]
