[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I looked that that Instagram and I am surprised.  The OP is correct that the top college admits - basically top 20, save the Chicago unhooked kids, actually do all have hooks.   Also so many lackluster colleges.  Tulane, BU, BC seems to be the level and “average” unhooked kids will get into.  All great top 50 schools but meh?  Also multiple (at least 10percent 6/7 kids) students attending random low ranked schools.  It was a bad year for admission with record applicants and many schools not looking at standardized testing.  [/quote]

You are so rude.[/quote]

[b]I think there is an expectation that if a kid does the level of work that is necessary for A's at NCS that she should *at least be in contention* for a college in the tier above Tulane and Boston College.  I mean, the school should get at least a couple of kids into schools like Vanderbilt, Rice, Hopkins, Tufts, USC, Northwestern, etc based on academics. [/b]
Maybe I am totally off base in 2022. 
If you look at the NCS admits, you have the Ivys/Stanford (95% with hooks) and then schools at the level of BC/Tulane/William and Mary.  Plus of course the handful of Chicagos.  But that's it.  
It's just surprising.  
NCS takes some of the brightest girls in the DMV and puts them through extreme academic rigor for 4 years.  I would hope that girls would be competitive for a top 30 school?  Not that they would all get in to the 10-35 schools---but at least SOME?  But not this year.

Hon your kid isn’t getting in any top schools and it will be because of you because these posts are grotesque. [/quote]

The pp is just being a realist. No one is disparaging these kids. I’m sure the kids are awesome and amazing. Just like all kids.[/quote]
