What is so impressive? I only saw 3 Ivies among the Basis grads (one of which is Cornell).
People have truly become unhinged! You are even looking down on the Ivies, inferring that Cornell isn’t impressive?!?!!! Not only is that not factual but it indicates how deeply flawed some of you people are, both in thought and behavior. Totally nuts!

I mean, maybe Andover 20 years ago, but at this point, and particularly post COVD, it simply isn't possible.
Add to it, a lot of kids want a different collegiate experience from their "big3" type high school experience. That is why you see a lot of schools like Clemson, Boulder, Pitt etc on the matriculation lists.
Doesn’t matter where you go when you’re rich, connected, and have an elite private k-12 education. Clemson and Michigan aren’t the same experience for these kids. The big 3 kid gets into an elite sorority or fraternity proles can’t get into, only mixes with rich peers, cruises to graduation with a 3.9 gpa, and lands a cushy six figure job with a rich connection (if they don’t go to med or law school).
Isn’t the same true for kids that go to Potomac, Bullis, and the 2nd tier schools that cost 50,000 per year?

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.
No, because Basis matriculations look better than most of the other schools listed.
Basis matriculations look better than which specific “Big 3” schools? I’ll wait.
If you’re referring to Potomac, Flint Hill, or Madeira…carry on.
These links are ridiculous. The Potomac one is from ‘22 and is not the real/main one from ‘22 that had multiple Harvard, Princeton, etc.

There goes the bs! There isn’t even a link for Flint Hill matriculations. They weren’t even in the conversation. To me however, they are more impressive than Potomac’s and just as good as Madeira’s at least.

Whatever.
If you look at the colleges for the Big 3 (or 5), you see a lot of non-Top 20 and 25.
The point is the BIM does really well for college admissions, and is certainly up there per capita with the top privates in the area.
How many graduating seniors does BIM have, on average?

Oh, it’s whatever now?
The issue isn’t the presence of lots of non-Top 20 and 25 colleges, it’s that someone came on here (you?) bragging about BIM’s impressive results at Top-20 colleges. The truth is that there are only 3 Basis students heading to Ivies (based only on Instagram postings). Unless there are 5 BIM graduates this year, that number is hardly impressive.
Of course the Big 3/5/7 also have lots of students heading to non-Top 20 colleges. That’s not what the original post was about though…
