I highly doubt the valedictorian and/or salutatorian of a competitive K-8 school is not on track for ivies.

💯 kids admitted at 6th and 9th are very accomplished and some are just as connected as some of the kindergarten crew.

Did you see the Spence college admissions account above? I don't think it's possible for a school to get better than that...

I think most of these kids have big connections. Seems like the students who get in to ivy from TT private are the connected ones

Why do people believe this? Why is it that everyone who says things has no affiliation with these schools?

I’m not trying to be argumentative, but this is such nonsense. All it does is undermine the quality of the education and the abilities and talents of ambitious and hard-working kids. Stop doing this. We just did well at school and pursued the things we loved uncynically.

Dalton Ivy+ matriculation for ‘24 (i’m not going to post the page since it’s minors in a lot of cases and it’s weird making that public):

Yale: 5
Penn: 1
Harvard: 7
Brown: 5
Columbia: 2
Princeton: 6
MIT: 2
UChi: 5
Cornell: 4
Stanford: 2
Dartmouth: 1

If you count Cornell as an ivy, then sure everyone gets in ivies.

Yeah.

Sacred Heart matriculation is 3T, 2T at most.

Chapin matriculation is 2T. Still better than Sacred Heart.

Dalton, Brearley matriculation, 1T.

We had one sent from an existing family and one from not but who have kids at Brearley. I doubt they made much difference.

From my obervsation, there are more qualified applicants than capacitiy. The majority of applicants admitted would be qualified prior to any legacy consideration. There is a lot of self reported information on instagram that can help compare an admitted student from different schools. The admitted student from a TT private often times has the more impressive profile compared to the public school student.

You could admit ISEE low score kids, it don't matter as long as the school sends these kids to the moon.

I wish Polarislist's stats were normalized by class size to make direct comparisons between schools easier.

It would also be awesome to know how many admits to Harvard and Princeton are legacies or have some other connection to the school. Princeton High and West Windsor-Plainsboro South and North have great admission rates to Princeton, but is that because many students are employees' children? Good admission rates to MIT are the most impressive to me because they seem not to be tainted by legacy influences.

Spence and Chapin are near identical in academic offerings. Sacred Heart is also great!

Sacred heart’s data is accumulated over four years. Chapin’s data was for ONE year. They sent 19 kids to the Ivies this year. They just don’t need to update their matriculation because interest will always be high. They are fine.

Spence seems to be doing fine https://www.instagram.com/spence24seniors/

Sacred Heart 2020-2024 data here. You be the judge.
