Sidwell doesn't want to remove the hooked kids from Scoir data because then parents will see how grim the chances are for an unhooked kid to get into a T20 school.
The statement above that a "Sidwell senior is a Sidwell senior" is 100% WRONG.

Parents should ask Sidwell CCO to remove hooked applicants from SCOIR.NCS did this last year and it helps to get a more realistic view of your chances.
Hooked is a subjective term that CCOs don't need to parse. A Sidwell senior is a Sidwell senior. Parents need to relax.
I agree with other PP - remove hooked. At a minimum, athletic recruits, legacy, VIP
Going to Sidwell itself is a hook.
With respect, in recent years, it has become the opposite of a hook. What you say may have been true prior to 2018 or so..
How so?
+1000
This was less the case in the past for sure.
Increasingly the competition starts with comparison against students in your own school. The better the top students at Sidwell the greater the disadvantage for a merely good sidwell student.

VIP is subjective isn't it? Is a Board Member VIP? What is a VIP? Wealthy? Aren't there many wealthy donors?
Exactly.
Let the Naviance/ Scoir scattergrams stand as is. If Sidwell parents can't analyze and assess their kid's admissions prospects for a given college, oh well.

If CCO does not respond, operate based on the top 75th percentile of admitted students from Sidwell within SCOIR (for each college of interest).
