[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What happened with Brown?  Why a washout?[/quote]

An oversized number of kids applied ED and none were admitted and several were rejected outright.[/quote]

Seems like Brown is sending a message to the Sidwell - you're letting too many apply. [/quote]

I heard that something like 15 kids from Sidwell applied early to Brown.  There's no way that all 15 were in the top 20% of the class (or whatever a reasonable cut-off for an Ivy acceptance is). 
So basically you had a lot of kids/parents with inflated sense of their own desirability and Brown responded by cancelling out the entire group.  
Sidwell should really limit where kids can apply (like Andover and Exeter do) if this is what happens.  [/quote]

Yes, it was 0 for 15 I heard.

Sidwell provides very little information for kids/parents to know where they fall in the class. It is much more a lack of information and context than an inflated sense of desirability. And on top of that there is very little advising from the counseling office that might dispense a dose of reality.[/quote]

To my knowledge even more than 15[/quote]
