[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Likely a better cultural fit overall.

That said, Sidwell needs a heart to heart with Brown.  That 16:0 ED admit needs to be addressed both internally and externally, and I say this as a public school parent.  If Brown does not come to the table, Sidwell may consider discouraging ED applications there, which may already naturally happen in the future.  [/quote]

I am sure Brown is quaking in its Birkenstocks.[/quote]

LOL!

A compassionate note to Genx  parents (or god forbid the younger boomers who are still hanging around) at the "top 3":

Ivy admissions are not what they were when we graduated in the late 80s and early 90s, when, if you went to a top 3 (and were in the top 25% of your class), you could very likely get an ivy admit. They are even different than when we decided to start our kids as lifers back in the early 2000s. Our college counselors don't have sit downs with Brown where they can ask them to reconsider your Larlo's application. Just doesn't happen anymore. $ and your own personal connections to these schools are king. There is discussion of getting rid of legacy preference, so be happy, at least our kids have that.[/quote]

Anyone who passed simple algebra - asking a lot in lib arts land WDC - knows that the Ivy schools churning out 1000s of graduating college and grad school alums each year, do not have a place for even a fraction of their future or current offspring.  It’s not like they’ve added seats the last 10,20,50 years. Even if their mission is to educate, they haven’t kept up with population growth. only tuition does that…. [/quote]
