entirely NP here and parent of senior.  You shouldn't believe me because this is an anonymous site full of trolls and bots, but I am certain that in the class of 2022 there are very few kids who are comfortably above at 3.9. I hate this reality, but, the very top kids in this class competitively talk among themselves.  We know well one of them who's had a single grade less than an A.  They have very little company.  We should assume that this doesn't change significantly from year to year.

Point being, the tail on grade distribution curve above 3.8 is verrrrrry narrow.  And at that point, the difference of the 0.1 is not tipping factor for admission at the T-10/20/30 schools[/quote]

This is generally true. [b]There just aren't a whole lot of kids, if any, who graduate with a 4.00 from Sidwell. Sure it happens, but not frequently, and certainly not to the point where there are a whole bunch of them in any given year.[/b][/quote]

How do you know this?  Very curious as to what authority supports this clear assertion. [/quote]

I have had multiple kids at the school. The kids talk to each other. When you kids are at a school like Sidwell for a long time, you meet parents from other grades and people talk. Some of those parents have also been associated with the school for a long time and have had multiple kids, so over the course of time, people talk and compare notes. So no, I don't have access to the registrar records, but based on a lot of anecdotal evidence, I made the claim you bolded.[/quote]
