[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All the Blair supporters. Tell his the Ivy placement track record compared to GDS. [/quote]

If you know your goal is specifically “Ivy” then you probably want GDS.  If you know your goal is a top tech program: MIT, Caltech, CMU, GTech you probably want Blair.

If you believe that 14 is still to young to know, then understanding that both schools lead to excellent outcomes will probably make this not the top factor.[/quote]
Blair sends more to Ivy schools than GDS[/quote]

not interested in Ivy, just curious how many kids were sent to MIT/Caltech by these two?[/quote]
It's not even close. 
Just last year, Blair sent 11 students to MIT.  I don't think GDS has sent that many to MIT in the last 10 years combined. [/quote]

I would assume a STEM magnate school would have many more students applying to MIT. GDS encourages diversity of interest across STEM and humanities; students end up applying to a wide array of colleges. My kid is a senior and only knows 1 student who applied to MIT. [/quote]
