[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’d view it this way, if she preferred SR and is an excellent student, she’ll be more likely to be on the top or SR s class than Sidwell. Maybe if she’s tippy top she could land an ivy/ivy+ which would be much more competitive to do at Sidwell. At SR there are fewer top placements than Sidwell (for obvious reason) but if she’s top at SR she can go to maybe be admitted to an even better school than the Sidwell diploma would allow. Simply said, she has an academic advantage at SR[/quote] So your argument is send your daughter to the easier school so she looks better by comparison? It doesn't work that way. Admissions officers at Harvard aren't fooled by class rank. They have a spreadsheet that tells them exactly what a 4.0 at Stone Ridge is worth relative to a 3.7 at Sidwell.[/quote]
