[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I don’t think we really know the unhooked number from HW. They took out athletes and legacy (and I am sort of suspect on the legacy… I can’t believe there is not more legacy at HW). It is easy to back out athletes at DC schools.

They would argue their NYU is like 11 boys to Chicago from STA. I am not saying HW is unimpressive just that there isn’t that big a difference compared to Sidwell/GDS and Cathedral schools.[/quote]

But HW also has huge numbers to Chicago, and they appear to be kids one tier below the top kids (based on GPA).[/quote]

Most of the STA kids are one tier below top GPA too, some even far below (though I have no doubt these kids can handle the college work).  My point is more that you are splitting hairs and getting into the weeds doesn’t serve a lot of purpose bc sample sizes are so small.  HW acceptances fairly on par with DC privates.  [/quote]

Sample sizes are not small. It's couple hundred kids per class for 3 classes and including a post-test optional class of 2021 (and 2020, I suppose). Ye are the grading scales different between HW and DC...perhaps. But not that different. Here's the newslash....our kids from GDS/Potomac/Sidwell/Albans are being ranked not just against DMV kids but nationally. [/quote]
