Reviewing de-identified matriculation results supplied by the schools is much better than pouring over individual social media posts meant for family and friends and made by children that are now being judged by desperate strangers.

This thread has really s**t the bed. You should all be ashamed of yourselves. This is the grossest threat I've read on DCUM in ages.

What is so impressive? I only saw 3 Ivies among the Basis grads (one of which is Cornell).

Yeah but all the schools are top 20.

Nope.

Non-Top 20 (or even Top 25) Basis colleges (USNWR):
1. Pitt
2. BC
3. BU
4. W&M
5. Wake Forest
6. University of South Carolina
7. Northeastern

Y'all have no ides how insulting and hurtful you are to kids who worked hard and still got into respectable 4-year universities. Do you realize the pressure to compete they already feel and the toll that takes on mental health for many of your kids? Not every kid at the "finest" private schools get into Ivy League or top 20's. Nor does it matter. More important than where you go is what you do while you're there. Getting into a top 20 school doesn't guarantee a life of happiness. And getting rejected by a top 20 doesn't doom a kid to a life of misery.

I usually would agree with you, but I suspect in this case the PP posted that the colleges were not top 20 because of the repeated insistence by some on this site that Basis is the #1 school in the area. While I'm sure that the kids at Basis get a good education and these are certainly solid college results, it's ridiculous to claim that it's better than every other school in the DMV.

**Breathe**

No one said (nor should believe) that anyone is doomed to a “life of misery” if they don’t get into/attend a top 20/25/50/100 college. The record was simply being corrected. Please don’t let DCUM posts ruin your day.

Would expect nothing less from the best private in Virginia.

Maybe they did earn that #1 slot after all.
