[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes and there are a few other great schools that a few girls have not listed. Some Ivy’s.
Who can blame them, it seems not matter what these girls achieve it is somehow not good enough.
No wonder these kids are stressed. I am feeling a lot of sympathy for OP’s daughter at this point.

For the love, this thread was not knocking the college admissions of NCS kids but rather trying to determine if any of the highly ranked colleges admitted girls solely based on academic achievement — or rather if you also needed to be athletic recruit, URM or legacy.  I think it was determined that most girls did indeed have the other factor.

There was also another question about whether academic girls (without hooks) were getting into other schools that are highly regarded (I think there was a list somewhere) such as Notre Dame or Northwestern… this devolved into a thread about the terror and inaccuracy of the ranking system and the moral bankruptcy and idiocy of anyone who cares or relies on such rankings. We never got an answer as best as I could tell.
