[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op seems to be exaggerating a bit as Sidwell list looks good but definitely has schools outside T50.[/quote]

Much of the impressive Sidwell list is hooked.[/quote]

You have no firsthand knowledge to back up this claim. There’s no way in the world you know where all of their parents attended college. None…so stop it.[/quote]

LinkedIn & the internet in general exist. You search the last name & “DC” and, say, Dartmouth alumni dinner attendance lists come up. [/quote]

Complete BS. At least half of Sidwell’s posted Ivy admits have common surnames, are not URMs, and do not mention sports in the future college plans. There’s zero chance that you can be certain that Sidwell student, “John Robinson,” (fictional name) is a Brown University legacy. There are simply too many Robinsons in DC. Further, John Robinson’s parents may actually live and work in Maryland or Virginia.[/quote]

As a Sidwell insider, you can be quite certain, however.[/quote]

You’re a Sidwell insider who has to use LinkedIn and internet searches to find parental information? Mmmkay.

Once again, complete and utter BS. Sidwell doesn’t ask about parents’ education background on admissions applications. The only way that administrators, teachers, other students, and you would know the parents’ colleges is if they ask the students. You DID not ask all of the aforementioned students for that information.

Now, get off Al Gore’s internet and go do something productive with your Sunday.[/quote]
