[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It  grows tougher each year for girls and increasingly for white students applying ED as competitive schools try to engineer their diversity when they can through ED.  NCS has an abundance of both and so just by holding steady, it has done well.[/quote]

Maybe the driver behind the shift toward better college admissions for talented student athletes and bright and talented URM is that in the last 5-10 years NCS has begun admitting more of these types of girls to its MS or HS entry years AND the Ivy League is similarly seeking this type of diverse talent

Maybe in 1970 and even 1980's there were less near perfect 1600 SAT scorers who were also national caliber in CREW or Fencing or LAX. There also likely far more so called " URM " at NCS who actually are the daughters of the Washington elite. How very easy then for an Ivy to accept them as a win / win for checking both the URM and the legacy box or the development box

NCS is for the most part a school sought by establishment achievers. It should not surprise anyone that 2-3 generations past the LBJ/ Kennedy years the grandchildren and/or great grandchildren of those who achieved and established themselves in Washington in that Era are now far more common in a school like NCS than they were in the 70's / 80's [/quote]
