[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The GDS are crazy good.  I have no GDS connection at all (my youngest was just rejected there for 9th  :( ).  But their admits are easily the best I've seen this year.

But you have not seen lists for all their students for one. These are the only a percentage of the class. Secondly NCS had 4 ED to Columbia plus Brown and other Ivies plus so far all students I have heard of are into top 25 schools. Have also heard of great placement at STA. [/quote]

The 4 to Columbia are all legacy (and big donor legacy at that) plus one crew recruit.  The brown is crew. [/quote]

Discussing kids this way on a public board is creepy. Have a little respect for these kids, they are not a proxy for whatever it is you are trying to measure.[/quote]

It may be creepy to mention these schools in the first place but I replied because it REALLY irritates when parents walk out these results like they're AT ALL relevant to the school or where your kid might go if they attend NCS (or STA or Sidwell). 
These kids could have attended any school on the planet and received the same results.  It's like shaking Sidwell's hand for getting in the Obama girls to Harvard and Michigan (now USC). 
Meanwhile, kids who are possibly academically deserving of top placements from STA/NCS are turned down by the top schools.

Anyway, moving on.  Agree with previous poster.  [b]If you are white and upper middle class at STA/NCS your college results are bound to be pretty darn sad.[/b]  Even if you're a legacy--because unless you're a BIG donor legacy your kid will be trumped.  Look at this year's results (which I know aren't posted but most in the community have some idea of them).
