[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have no idea if there’s been a thread on this already, as I’ve largely weaned myself off of this sub-forum, but BASIS DC’s graduating class has some amazing college results.  Looking just at where kids are going (vice the multiple choices they had), out of a class of 41 or so, I count: Harvard, Yale, Pomona, Harvey Mudd, Dartmouth, 3-4 Univ of Penn, Navy Academy, Brown, and many more impressive schools.

While kids have always gotten into top schools from BASIS, [b]it seems over one-quarter of this year’s class is going to an Ivy. [/b] I wonder why this year is so much more impressive than prior years?  (A couple of years ago there was a thread about how unimpressive BASIS’ results were.)[/quote]

[b]This website says that BASIS DC has 233 high school students (~58 students/grade).[/b] I counted 6 Ivies posted on IG (~10% of the grade). Unless there are 15 BASIS students heading to Ivies this year, I don’t know how you arrived at a quarter of the class.

But still—Congrats to BASIS![/quote]
DP but that same website also said the 12th grade class is 42 students. [/quote]

The class is 42. 6 Ivy's on the site now, which is about 15 percent of the grade. One more coming, which is just over 15 percent.

A quarter is an exaggeration, but I also get it, bc places like Naval Academy and McGill and full scholarship to Harvey Mudd are arguably just as competitive. [/quote]

Naval Academy and McGill are not nearly as competitive as the Ivies. This comes from someone who has kids who applied to both these options. 
Now a full ride to Harvey Mudd is awesome. [/quote]
