[quote=Anonymous][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]

I took it down for the party the other night I would hope not

I'm not sure exactly where things stand on the college matriculation end,  but on the middle and high school admissions end,  GDS is absolutely,  positively  the toughest admit.  It's nuts.   [/quote]

GDS seems to have become the “it” school.  It is not difficult to envision in a few years that President Kamala Harris might be cheering on her grandchildren and VP Pete Buttigieg applauding for his kids from the GDS soccer field sidelines or while watching a GDS performance. That would be amazing![/quote]
