[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Private schools are inflating grades too, despite what people like to say here. To fall in the bottom quartile at Holton you have like a 91 average. That’s crazy inflated. [/quote]

Really?  Wow.  THAT's why their college placement is so much better than placement at NCS! 
[/quote]

NCS sent more than half of the class of 2024 to top 25 National Universities or top 25 liberal arts schools. Pretty good![/quote]

no, Holton is much better.  NCS with no one to UVA, UNC, USC, NU, etc. 
I know many girls who tried this year.  Shut out from these schools.  [/quote]
That’s weird to assume they want to attend those schools.[/quote]

huh?  I have a kid in the class and she and many of the girls wanted to attend those schools. [/quote]given that uva and UNC are state schools that favor in-state apps and require high gaps for the small number of out of state applications they accept it is not surprising. [b]Nor is USC unless they ED[/b], and NU is a hard admit also with ED and in general requires a higher gpa than may NCS girls are able to get given the few As that are given out in some cases. People think that just because they got to a fancy and difficult upper school that it translates into college application acceptance across the board. Ed still matters as does high gpa if applying to schools like UVA. They get thousands of applications. NCS girls applications don’t smell any different than the others. All the same rules apply. [/quote]

USC doesn’t offer ED. [/quote]

Do you mean (a) U. of Southern California or (b) U. of South Carolina ?  There are at least 2 different colleges which use the term USC.
And yes, I know specific students from local top 3-4 privates who applied to (a) and also know different students who applied instead to (b). [/quote]

Actually, neither University of Southern California nor University of South Carolina offer ED. I was referring to  University of Southern California since the PP was lamenting that their Big3 didn’t have any admissions to UVA, UNC, Northwestern and USC. I assume they wouldn’t be lumping U of South Carolina in with a group of top 25 schools. [/quote]
