[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If all you care about are Ivies (but not Cornell and Penn) please just do yourself a favor and send your kid to private school.  Walls will never send more than a few kids to each Ivy a year.  [/quote]

No one is getting into an Ivy from the top privates anymore unless their parent(s) went to the Ivy AND they (the parents) are VIPS or big donors.  And maybe the very top two kids in the class.  Maybe.  (and that--(being the top kid)--is an incredible feat of talent and luck). 
It's much easier to get into an Ivy unhooked in 2023 from Walls than it is from Sidwell or similar.

Signed, a private school parent who has been watching this play out up close. [/quote]

Andover and Exeter seem to be doing ok...[/quote]

1)I was talking about the DC privates

Are you suggesting that Sidwell et al aren't hooked up? Have the decency to slink away into the corner.[/quote]
