[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Which Big3 got only 5 ED admits? I am not seeing that on the instagram pages. I saw awesome results from many schools in this area, private and public.
I couldn’t find NCS and STA. I found the other private schools acceptances and they look pretty impressive.
Whitman, Churchill and BCC have many EDs in the top 20. The VA public ones are ok too.
Couldn’t find WJ, Wootton pages. [/quote]

NCS. They are getting next to nobody in. [/quote]

+2 If I told you the colleges where my NCS student was deferred and rejected from thus far you wouldn’t believe me. NCS is providing an excellent education to my daughter, but the fact that most girls have transcripts filled with Bs and an occasional C is killing their chances in this test optional world. The schools DO NOT CARE that NCS has phased out APs or that my DD has a 33 ACT. It has been a very rough 3 weeks. [/quote]

Do you think we should make a separate thread on this?  I don't think the grade deflation is as bad anywhere else and I'm not sure NCS parents in younger grades know how bad it's become and I'm not sure the school cares. 
I literally know 5 kids total who were accepted ANYWHERE.  Rejections across the board at all schools--including at second and third tier colleges.  Forget about top 30 schools.  Meanwhile my daughter is in another few classes where the teachers are by design giving a B- as the average grade and a token A- to a cohort of 20 girls. [/quote]
