[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, from looking at the posted IG accounts this year I would say Sidwell had the best placement

However, I imagine that changes from year to year based on how strong the class is

It could also be that STA/NCS college admits are split whereas with Sidwell its easier to see it all in one place[/quote]

Disagree--GDS is now the strongest in the area.  My kids went to another top private and are all at ivy but looking at things closely, I would say GDS has eclipsed Sidwell.  All three (GDS, Sidwell, NCS/STA) do very well but as people have said on this board numerous times--it is legacies, recruited athletes, and URMS (who's parents are ex-administration, and legacy, and full pay--partners at law firms, etc.).  [/quote]

Ivy admissions deans all know GDS for its stellar teaching, incredible applicants, and decades-long commitment to social justice.  GDS was woke before it became a thing.[/quote]

Ivies have been so crazy woke and GDS is the same.  A bit too out there.

And I say that as a liberal.  [/quote]
