[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not buying it from DCI. Where did these kids go to college with the other IBD students who scored in the 40s, Oxford, Cambridge, Harvard, Yale, Princeton?  I have a niece at Yale who tells me she scored 39.[/quote]

DCI has a student headed to Yale this year.  Just like your niece.  So DCI must be graduating students who are just as qualified as your niece. [/quote]

I am sure that this URM athlete (a talented dancer) would have done well anywhere.

The fact remains that, even after a few years at DCI, most kids there are below grade-level in math and English.[/quote].
The fact also remains that high SES white and Asian DCI students can’t expect any breaks in college admissions anywhere they aren’t hooked. IBD points in the low 30s, the norm for academic high fliers at DCI, just aren’t going to wow admissions officers at the most highly competitive colleges for non hooked, non first gen, non URM applicants.[/quote]

IB test scores aren’t available until colleges have already admitted students. So you’re absolutely right that admissions officers won’t be wowed because they won’t be sent them. [/quote]
