[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not a sidwell parent but rather another private - you probably also need to account for rigor of curriculum (math level, years of foreign language etc).[/quote] This is a bust in the dc top privates saying this. Many dc kids shut out of top schools because they have lower GPAs than kids across the country coming in with 4.0 averages. Colleges are overwhelmed with applications and don’t have a way to actually fairly compare each students course load. [/quote] +2 [/quote] Untrue. Sidwell senior parent here who posted earlier. All the top schools clearly know GDS, Sidwell, sta/ncs and maybe other DC schools. The exception seems to be competitive state flagships - IME some do know Sidwell (Michigan) and some don’t and your point is valid about them. [/quote] Wisconsin and Michigan certainly know these schools. They have regional AO's who make it their job.[/quote]
