[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here are the 2021 admissions from a Big3 (does not included multiple admits at many of the schools).  Is there one college on this list that you wouldn't be happy that your kid is attending? 
Personally I think it's awesome and guarantee that my kid will attend a decent college---never mind that they are also learning to to write well and think critically.

This isn't "schools where students have been admitted" which is NOT the same as "schools where 2021 graduates are going" because all seven Ivies are on the list along with Stanford. There's only a tiny number of high schools in the country that can boast graduates going to all seven Ivies plus Stanford in a single year.

I do see these kids of lists in alum magazines but it's usually admitted, not enrolled, or it's over the last three years. And it doesn't take much to recognize that 2-3 kids could dominate all the Ivy/top school admissions.

I do vaguely remember a heavy discussion on DCUM comparing Whitman with the Big 3s and it emerged that only Sidwell itself had something comparable, but Whitman does have a much bigger pool of students to start with.
