[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What are some Feeder schools into Dartmouth?[/quote]
None in the DMV. [/quote]

St. Albans has sent 17 to Dartmouth over the last five years, the same number as they have sent to Yale over the last five years, but less than Chicago (37)

yes, they have about a 100% admissions rate to Dartmouth for boys over a certain (extremely high) GPA.
They have similar results with a number of other top schools (not all but some).

This is not unique to STA--it's similar at all the top privates.  They're not like publics where there are a large number of kids who have 4.0s or close to it. At the top privates there may be 1 or 2 kids with a 3.95+.
A's are very hard to get--some classes only give 1 or 2 between all students.  If you can manage to be that kid in all your classes you can pretty much pick your college or at least be assured that you'll get into one of your top 2 choices.  However, the problem is that it's really hard to be this kid.  You have to be super smart, diligent (no quiz you just blow off and of course no late work ever) and also lucky.  There are teachers that don't give As.  [/quote]
