[quote=Anonymous]9 into Yale a few years ago from Sidwell, and about 7-8 into Harvard from GDS in 2012. Some years can be many more than 5-12 in whole group of top privates to a single school, but other years not nearly as many. The schools really know how to look at the classes from the top privates in the area, and in our experience with our kids, mostly there were not huge surprises, really strong classes got a huge number of kids in, weaker classes did not. My kids got into top 5 schools with a few B+'s and SATs >2300, no huge hooks, so it is very possible, but also feel they were very lucky, wrote excellent essays and had both good college counseling, and likely really great teacher recommendations.
