[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At DC’s private school, over the past couple of years:

Top 10 percent: Harvard, Yale, Duke, Chicago, etc.  
Next decile: Stanford, Columbia, Cornell, Dartmouth, Vanderbilt, Chicago, etc. 
Next decile: Michigan, UVA, BC, etc. [/quote]

Chicago ED belongs in thr 3rd or below decile, Duke in the second and Stanford in the first.[/quote]
Even if the schools don't technically rank, we all know these insights are off. The kids outside the top 10%, even at the top DC schools, are not regularly getting admitted to almost any of the schools in the next decile without a real hook (there are plenty of threads where parents complain about it).[/quote]

At our private just outside of DC, the second decile kids (known because they announce two different groups for cum lade, top 10% and next 10%), absolutely get in to Chicago ED as well as Northwestern, Vandy , Duke ED, Penn CAS ED, Brown ED, Dartmouth ED all  UN-Hooked. EVERY year at least a couple of these. Do more come from the top decile yes of course but the second decile gets them in if they have top rigor. Vandy ED has taken unhookeds from 3rd decile too, as did one of the Columbia-GS overseas programs one year, and as did WashU too, ED.
3rd decile regularly gets into UVA in state. The top 25% of our school has a 1450+. It is not a typical school. The OP probably has a similar school. [/quote]
