[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I see other schools posting on instagram this year except Brearley. [/quote]

Neither has Dalton. Both schools post in the spring if you look at last year’s accounts.

HM doesn’t even allow these accounts. HM’s college placements have gone down the drain - I remember they used to do crazy well and their placements at ivies basically tanked which caused an uproar.[/quote]

A few years ago they sent a ridiculous number of kids to Chicago. Which is a very good school. But it just seemed odd. If you thought you were getting Ivy and you got Chicago you probably aren't thrilled. If it is second tier kids getting Chicago then it is much more OK.[/quote]

HM has an account - it just doesn’t have any references to the school. 11/62 posted so far are going to Chicago. I think that’s great, but I’m not Ivy or bust.[/quote]

Chicago is a great school but not sure if I would want to be going to college with that many HS classmates - it is not that big of a place. It is a bit odd how many kids they are sending there. Obviously, it's not like they are sending all these kids to an awful school, but just odd. Obviously if this was Harvard or Yale I would feel slightly differently.

[b]What is the account?[/b][/quote]

^^^and FWIW, it's student run and not complete. I know it's missing a Princeton, a Yale, and another Williams admit at the least. [/quote]
Looks like a bit less than half of the graduating class posted, and we could probably assume that the other half is not materially stronger.  So -- am I reading this wrong, or does this look meaningfully weaker than average for e.g. Brearley/Spence for the very top colleges?  One Stanford, no HYP listed, no MIT?[/quote]

I always just take into account every school doesn’t have 100% posting rate and still compare schools this way. If you look at these accounts historically, December postings are typically stronger than postings in the spring. [/quote]
