[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter is at NCS. 
From what I can tell: 
20% Ivies 
10% U of Chicago
10% other top 20 universities
10% top 10 liberal arts colleges
Etc.
That is 50% of the class into TOP20 colleges/universities. Minimum.

Even with the deflated GPAs (well under 4.0), almost no APs, etc.

STA is similar. 
Sidwell has pretty much gotten the entire class in top50 schools.  
GDS is a bit uneven.

How exactly are the grades "deflated"? Public schools might inflate grades, but that doesn't mean independent ones deflate them.[/quote]

Are you new here?  Most of the more academics rigorous private schools here pride themselves on giving out significantly less As than area public’s.[/quote]

What school prides itself on "giving" students FEWER As? Methinks this is a bit of projection on your part. The point remains: it's the grade inflation at public high schools that is the problem.[/quote]

You really are new here PP and have no idea what you are talking about. Grade deflation is absolutely a thing that anyone who actually attends these schools, or knows someone who does, knows to be true. Please realize this is something you just obviously dont know much about and stop posting untill you do a little more homework. [/quote]
