[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So far, TC seniors have been accepted at Harvard, Stanford, MIT, Yale, Princeton, Columbia, Penn, Cornell, Amherst, Duke, Chicago, Dartmouth, Brown, UVA (three as Echols scholars), William and Mary, Smith, Middlebury, NYU, Washington University, Boston College, Vassar, Michigan, Sewanee, Wake Forest, Bard, Tulane, Vanderbilt, and Syracuse, among others.  Pretty impressive, I'd say!  And these are just the schools that my DD has heard about through Facebook over Spring Break.  I'm sure there are many more acceptances out there. TC must be doing something right![/quote]

This is all rumor. And probably reflects a few students with multiple acceptances. It also seems a little odd that this DD would pass along such detailed info to her DM.

instead, let's look at the last good data we have.   Last year TC Williams grads ended up at a few good schools, but the numbers were not very impressive at all.

New poster here. While I appreciate you trying to keep TC from being overinflated, I am disappointed in your post. First, it's kind of mean spirited to call the pp, her dd, or her dds Facebook friends a liar. Second, the info is the exact kind of info an academically inclined student would share with her academically inclined mother. Third, the two data sets can't be compared because enrollments are not the same as acceptances. Plenty of kids would apply to Harvard, but enroll at UVA due to finances. And finally, the acceptance info can be confirmed by contacting tc's guidance counseling department.[/quote]
