At any of these schools, this kid gets into Brown level schools ED. Provided not a lot of other hooked peers EDing.[/quote]
No.  
NCS, Sidwell, and Gilman are all on the list.  Not for 3.5 gpa kids.[/quote]

I thought gpa was 3.7/3.75uw?

Did OP say that?  I must have missed it.  The title says middle of the class, which is typically 3.5 in a top private that does not inflate.[/quote]

Since rigorous privates have competitive admission, they can usually choose strong/A students coming in from middle school so there are few average students academically. That said, from my experience a middle 50% gpa at a rigorous private would be around 3.6 due to the lack of inflation. Top half ranges from just below an A- (very high B+) to an A average. Ofc, rigor matters a lot! [/quote]
