[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Harvard-Westlake in Los Angeles gives transparent data on which kids are admitted to elite schools, and removes "hooked" applicants such as athletes and legacies. They give a very clear indication as to what unhooked students can expect in the application process, given their gpa range. It's truly a shame that our DC private schools won't give families similar information. GDS tells us absolutely nothing about the college admissions process except meaningless, feel-good buzzwords. https://students.hw.com/Portals/44/handbook0524.pdf[/quote] I find the whole handbook guide a bit weird to be honest. I much prefer my child and us parents getting individualized explanations and discussions as to which schools would be a good fit. As for publishing lists and denoting hooks - Bullis is pretty transparent; this is on their website, with Div 1 athletes marked: https://www.bullis.org/academics/college-counseling/college-matriculation [/quote]
