Except that you just posted about it…
DP - why do you have to be so nasty here? Does it give you some sense of privilege, of "feeling good" temporarily that you put down another human being? Do you ever ask yourself why you come on here and do this.
and for the record, the PP didn't disclose anything. Everything she said is anonymous. So your snark has no merit.
NP. Disagree. Person felt the need to claim moral superiority because they'd never brag....while bragging.

What's underwhelming about these schools? These are all excellent choices where students will get a first-class education.

So far, Walls’ results are underwhelming. Does anyone have insight about what’s going on?
NP but I assume you are a troll. This is just what this poster has heard about. I’ve also heard Columbia, NYU, Macalaster, UPenn, Harvard. But something really must be going on!
My post about Walls’ results being underwhelming is based on its Instagram account. It’s not based on what “I've heard." It's based on what I’ve seen.
It would be nice if schools published official results each year, but you can’t go by instagram accounts.
My 2023 JR kid is now at a top 5 school and would never post that on instagram, nor any friends.
They put them on their school profiles. JR’s is posted on the website. You can see the full list of schools students are attending from the class of 2023.

Are your kids #1 in their class, volunteer at NIH, cello virtuosos and manage food banks? If not, the fact that your kid goes to the same school as that kid isn't going to get your kid into Yale.
There are schools where 10+ kids get into Ivy schools and the reputation of the school bumps them up, none of them are DCPS or charter schools. Most are New England boarding schools.
Every year this same thread pops up, and every year you all make fools of yourselves.
This is not either of the kids I know of who got into Yale from public schools. They are both what you would call “average excellent.” Same with the kid I know who got into Brown. And the one I know who got into Columbia.
