[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I heard they were excellent.  A lot of the disappointed kids from ED got good news.[/quote]

Really? Curious as I kind of heard the opposite. Happy to be corrected. Do you have any details?[/quote]

No details- just rumors from my DD (a senior who does not go there but is friends with some kids who do go there). But I do know some kids with acceptances at high ranking SLACs, UVA, etc.[/quote]

Good grief.

Thanks, though, for making clear how unhelpful and uninformed your initial comment was.[/quote]

Plenty of disappointment. Top students had impressive outcomes, but many more are committing to safeties. They'll all do well in the end, but it is tough.[/quote]

But aren’t many of the safeties top 30 schools or highly regarded SLACs.  Gone are the days of 1/3 of a private school class getting Ivy admits but that doesn’t mean it isn’t a good year.  Most kids would be thrilled to go to many of the schools on Sidwell’s list.  [/quote]

Even Exetor and Andover are not sending 1/3 of their classes to Ivies anymore. The colleges and universities are diversifying their applicant pool. On a macro level, that is a good thing. Obviously it stings becauase the classes of 2021 and 2022 at school like Sidwell are at the tip of the spear for this change, but so be it. No one is entitled to a seat at an Ivy or any other school.[/quote]
