[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Middle of the pack kids at Sidwell, who may in fact test quite well, go to schools such as [b]Tulane, Hamilton, Colgate, Connecticut College, University of Wisconsin, Lehigh, Kenyon, Oberlin[/b]. You actually need to be a top student to get into Wash U, Tufts, Middlebury, Northeastern, and NYU. Ivy League is a crapshoot for everyone. Some of the kids who choose more obscure schools do so for athletic reasons. [/quote]

A friend’s kid, an unhooked b student at a 4/10 public school in MD went to NYU[/quote]

Yes, these schools look about right for middle of the pack kids at NCS too. I also agree with the posted NCS list above. The miDdle of the pack ACT scores are usually around 33 or 34. GPAs will look really low to a public school parent, so not even going to mention them because it will start an argument about whether these kids are actually getting into these schools. These are the B/B+ students with occasional As and even a few Cs. Grading is tough and As are hard to come by. Your kid will do fine, OP.[/quote]
