[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was a bottom half. Although there is no class rank so there is no way to know for sure. I went to a top 10 SLAC and an even better grad school. Obviously things have changed since then but my sense is the [b]50-75% group is going to Michigan, Kenyon, Dickinson, Trinity, UMD[/b], etc. Not sure about the bottom quartile - probably a tier below. That's based on a totally unscientific study of where some of the recent grads we know have gone. Big state schools can be a challenge for places like Sidwell where Bs are not uncommon. GPAs/scores will be important and the Sidwell name won't mean much when they are processing 20-30,000 applications. A 3.0 will look like a 3.0.[/quote] This is correct. As a 15-20%-er at Sidwell I went to a non-HYP Ivy. [/quote] Interesting -- as the parent of 2 recent grads, I'd say this sounds like a reasonably good summary of current admissions trends. [/quote]
