I’m the original poster. It’s not me. I don’t know about college placement because I don’t care about it all that much. I really did just care about the quality of the curriculum.

Definitely the same poster. Relentless.

Very impressive! The idea that they are slipping is insane. It’s weird how many people on this forum have this bizarre agenda to smear the school’s reputation. Spence, Chapin, and yes, Brearley are all great schools. As are the many others in the city. None are perfect and year to year you’ll have kids with different interests and priorities which will result in variation in college placements but by and large these stats are super strong for a school the size of Brearley
LOL, I don’t know if there are “many people” here…it’s probably the same poster from the other thread…same style, grammar etc. She seems to be really upset about the school.
Definitely the same poster. Relentless.

Was told only two unconnected Harvard admits this year (EA). Wonder if there have been any at HM.

https://school.chicardgo.com/nycprivate/blog/
This is not accurate at all. UNIS posts their matriculations publicly on their site and it's not remotely close to 28% Ivy+. Brooklyn Friends a few kids to Ivy+ a year on average, though this is just via a parent friend. These are just the two I know about that aren't remotely accurate.

For last 5 years, Chapin sent 78 to ivies, less than Spence’s 91 and less than Brearley’s 124. Seems to be about 25% of Chapin's class.
