[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks for your opinion re the ED college admissions of <17 kids you don't know. I'd be happy if my DC got into Boston College (35% acceptance rate) and thrilled with Barnard (16%).[/quote]

Not to mention these are early admission acceptances.  It will be interesting to see what the final college list will be for this very first senior class.[/quote]

Um, I said that it is entirely possible that things changed between that email in December you were claiming showed the many of the graduating class being admitted in oresteguous schools and today, but it wasn't like a lot of the 17 kids got into prestigious colleges  according to the December like you claimed-of course, Princeton is prestegious, but most of the other ones (Arizona State, Virginia Commonwealth, Johnson and Wales, High Point, University of Dallas, University of Pittsburgh) are not even ones many have heard of, and are certainly not prestigious. [/quote]

17 kids is a very small sample size but even if 1 kid got into an uber elite school, that is impressive, especially in early admissions.  The above schools that you mention may not be in your eyes prestigious, but they are good schools.  And I guess Barnard is not a prestigious school either.  [/quote]

The person said "many of the (17) students got into prestigious colleges" according to/by the December email. The same kid got into Barnard and Princeton and one student in two colleges isn't "many", and the other schools are not considered prestigious by anyone's  eyes, they may be considered good, worthy of attending, etc, by others, but they aren't prestigious, nor is a school with a 35% acceptance rate considered prestigious. Just don't mislead people who aren't privy to the email, that's all...[/quote]
