[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NCS SCOIR does not show H,Y, or M but average GPA of Princeton admit is 3.99 and average for Stanford is 3.92. So, you can essentially get one A- in all of high school.[/quote]

YIKES[/quote]

yes, SCOIR for NCS is scary.  Vanderbilt, Duke, Rice, etc.  You basically need a 3.98.  One A- max over 4 years and it can only be in a semester long course (not a full year).  There are really only 1 or 2 girls per grade who qualify for these schools.  [/quote]

That’s definitely not the case at GDS, STA, and Sidwell. Students from those schools consistently get into those colleges with cumulative 3.80 to 3.90 GPAs.

What’s going on at NCS?!?[/quote]

My kid has a 3.86/1550 and per NCS SCOIR she is in the Boston College, Colgate, Davidson type band.  Pretty much all the top 25 universities are above her pay grade (i.e. the star representing her stats is in a sea of red denials).  Which means they're really only available to girls in the top 10% of the class.  It's sobering.  
Can any other NCS parent comment?  I'm confused by this whole thing. [/quote]

If unhooked, she needs at least a 3.92 and 1580.

Sorry, OP, you should have opted for public.[/quote]

Hahahaha. What public school is sending this # of kids to any of these places?  You are doing drugs.  And they have just as many legacies and athletic recruits.  [/quote]
