[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Congrats to the DCI Class of 2021!

However, it may be a bit premature to jump to conclusions.  College admissions for the DCI Class of 2020 (DCI's first graduating class) weren't nearly impressive as 2021.  Zero admissions to Ivies/Stanford/MIT or even Georgetown.  It looks like the top college for admission last year was probably GW.

There is nothing wrong with GW or the rest of the colleges to which the Class of 2020 was admitted, but it is good to temper expectations going forward.

Let's see if 2021 was an outlier year or a harbinger of future success.[/quote]

If you want to see better college admissions results, ask admins to ensure that teachers of HL classes prep students for IBD exams. Most of the teachers don't really know IBD exams - their backgrounds are in AP prep.

The kids generally go into the exams blind, unfamiliar with exam formats.  They haven't seen past exams or been advised on subject exam-specific study strategies (particularly useful for HL Chem, Biology and Physics).

Also push admins to permit 2 exams to be taken at the SL junior year, which Geneva IBD HQ allows. It's useful to have IBD exam results to submit with college applications.  [/quote]
