[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That is fine. But a PP above inferred that the College Guidance office was ranking kids or certain kids at the expense of others. That is simply at best, an ill-informed statement, and at worse, a quite malicious statement.[/quote]

OK, got it. The PP is also I think talking about the Secondary School Report, which is the document that the counselor fills out through the common app for each applicant, and that accompanies the counselor's recommendation. According to the allegations in the Adetu litigation, Sidwell does qualitatively rank applicants against each other through the secondary school reports that they submit, with rankings including "excellent" "very good" and "good." I have no idea whether this is accurate or not, though the writer of the article in Inside Higher Ed (who is a high school college counselor himself) treats the assertions as accurate.

Here is a link to the article: https://www.insidehighered.com/admissions/views/2019/07/08/suit-sidwell-friends-parents-shows-what-parents-will-never-accept[/quote]
