[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My best friend went to NCS and after to Stanford. Mid-nineties. She said that she was in the top third of her class but not the top and Stanford wasn't considered great (only Princeton Harvard Yale were at the time) but not considered a total letdown like Duke or Northwestern so she was neither pitied nor celebrated, just left alone for an acceptable but not great outcome. So - agree with PP - totally warped. Maybe things have changed. [/quote]I Well, nowadays stellar applicants from the "Big 3" independent schools (and from other schools) are routinely rejected at the "total letdowns", as you term Duke and Northwestern. The college application situation today is totally different. Everything has been kicked up a notch, or several notches.[/quote]
