[quote=Anonymous]Stanford and Princeton aren't taking 10 kids from Sidwell, STA or GDS or Thomas Jefferson. I think the posters here are not appreciating that there are also regional and international diversity favors in play here. A few prep schools won't dominate foreclose on a kid or two going to Princeton each year from Oakton HS or Walt Whitman each year either. If I drilled down to the second layer of which kids from Sidwell got into Ivies, I have little doubt that it would not mirror what is also the case at other expensive and well regarded preps. Well heeled legacies and the boosters given to recruited athletes. Landon used to send more kids to Princeton than Sidwell for a few years. They were all lacrosse players. I doubt anyone Sidwell would take it well that Landon is an equal or better academic school with equal or better students...and I'd agree with that as neither a Sidwell or a Landon cheerleader.
