[quote=Anonymous]sorry for garbled tenses/numbers re 2009 blew me away kid vs. 2010 top of class kids. I should also add that I'm blurring details a bit for the sake of both the candidate's and my own anonymity. The basic point is, knowing the resources available and what kids at the school have done in the past can raise the bar for applicants from schools like Sidwell. Those kids are competing not only against their immediate cohort but also past classes. Letters of recommendation for example, routinely ask recommenders to say whether this is one of the best kids in the class vs. best you've seen in the past 5 years vs. best you've ever seen. [/quote]
