Out of 170 graduates? BFD

Anonymous wrote:I haven’t read through all the posts, but it’s not really an apples to apples comparison to look at Westminster versus DMV privates. The DC area has so many great schools and the students are spread out among them. There’s no Big 3 in Atlanta - no way Lovett or Pace come close. So you have the top ATL students mostly concentrated in one school. It’s not surprising Westminster does very well.

Not true. Pace. Lovett. Woodward. Paideia. Galloway does ok. Marist and Weber are religious and do pretty well. Sure I’m missing one or two more.

This forum loves to pretend southern high-schools are all horrible.

Yes, Sidwell did better. I’ll focus on Ivy+ universities here because: (1) they tend to be the most selective, and (2) a lot of schools on Westminster’s list are not popular with Sidwell students (e.g., UGA, GT, WF, etc).

Keep in mind that Westminster’s graduating class is nearly twice as large as Sidwell’s.

Looks like ~ 25% success rate . Means 75% headed to target/safety schools . So for majority of parents Sidwell was NOT a good deal?

STA did better and they have fewer kids.

No, they didn’t. However they did send students to such illustrious institutions as Eastern Arizona College, Ole Miss, and
Elizabeth City State University.

I can see why STA students don’t publicly post their college matriculations, and the school doesn’t highlight (bold) the most frequently attended schools. They don’t want you to know how popular Ole Miss is for these STA good ol’ boys: https://www.stalbansschool.org/academics/college-counseling

Those were all athletes or children of Ol Miss alums. The Mississippi alums probably employ you hence the anger but it’s ok.

Of course STA would have several Ole Miss alumni parents. That definitely tracks.
Btw, an Ole Miss alums employing me is a hilarious thought. I’m an attorney and I’ve never even met an attorney who graduated from that embarrassing excuse for a university (at least not that I’m aware of—thankfully!).

You are probably just a drone doing government contracts who would not recognize a creative person or someone in politics if they hit you in the head.

Are you also the racist with a problem with Elizabeth City as well?

Had some pretty smart and now successful Ole Miss alums in my class at Vandy Law.

That’s not impressive. You should have kept your post in the drafts.

PSA: No one will ever convince me that a school nicknamed Ole Miss (IYKYK), with such a dreadful past, present, and future is worth a damn. So don’t waste your time.

None of those schools have big sports except UGA, Vandy, Duke, Stanford...maybe Georgetown.

Vandy plays against schools with big sports (and wins about once every 40 years). Other than lacrosse, Georgetown hasn't been relevant since JT left.

Watch the video. I saw one Macalester, a few Washington & Lees, two Middleburys.

I haven’t heard of a student going to HC or ND in years. There are at least one or two students who go to BC and Georgetown every year (more are always admitted though).

Outside of Ivy+ universities, Northwestern, WashU, NYU, and a few SLACs (Middlebury, Pomona, Swat, Amherst, Colby, Colgate) are pretty popular. Tulane was especially popular this year (definitely more so than in years past).

The LACs, in particular, named above don't comport especially well with SFS's current five-year matriculation list, which shows Bowdoin, Hamilton, Wesleyan, Colgate, Haverford, Colby, Bates, Lafayette, Skidmore and Pitzer as the most popular LAC destinations:

Not to quibble, but the linked website to Sidwell’s CCO is its four year matriculation list (classes of 2021-2024).

Thanks for the correction.

You’re calling someone racist yet you send your child to STA. It’s the only DC private I’m aware of that has an openly MAGA faculty member.

Btw, only a racist would think that Elizabeth City State University was a suitable college for a student who has received a supposedly elite and rigorous high school education. That university has a 74% acceptance rate! You’re telling me he couldn’t get recruited by a better HBCU, like Howard and Morehouse?
Smh—the soft bigotry of low expectations.
You’re telling on yourself, Karen.

Damn, y’all are dumb! There’s no rule that all 8 Ivies have to be a member of the confederation before you call it Ivy+. There could be 1 Ivy, plus MIT, and there’s your “Ivy, Plus” MIT.

If you actually read, before commenting, you would know that the libraries confederation started in 1999, with just 3 Ivies (Columbia, Penn, and Yale). Other Ivies joined later, with MIT (the first non-Ivy) joining in 2011. That’s how the term Ivy Plus came to be.

You are missing the point. But I think you already know that.

I think the top two schools numbers wise for this year are UChicago and Princeton.
