[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe a troll - but I'd pay for other two but would not pay for Maret. Value just isn't there - YMMV. GDS is unarguably now clear #2 in area (<10% admit) followed by STA/NCS safe at #3. Sidwell "7%" admit rate is massive overestimate. Take away admissions for children of alumni and politicians, siblings and quakers and it is probably more like a 1% chance for well-qualified but "unhooked" applicants if that. [/quote] What I take from this is that these schools don’t take the most qualified, highest caliber students. They take good students from wealthy or connected families. Low admissions rates are indicative of demand, and the name brands have more of it. It’s driven by their proximity to lots of affluent families. [/quote]
