Haha..stop trolling!
Just congratulate the class of 2023, no matter where they ultimate enroll.

My Sidwell senior says that a not insignificant number of the class has accommodations, therefore, receive extra time on regular and standardized tests and other special conditions, like private rooms. Maybe this is typical for the age cohort, but it surprised me. So yeah, I guess it is "truly special" at least in this regard.

The most important and only question that matters is where you kid got in.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Surely this is a troll.
The current senior class includes so many multiply-advantaged kids -- whose parents have provided every ridiculous advantage out there. College coaching starting in 9th grade (building the college resume), tutors, summer jobs/experiences through connections, legacy status at top schools, full pay ability, and on and on. Moreover, this class includes many students who are anything but kind.
But PP says they’re all “incredibly special”! I’m sure it has nothing to do with any of that.

Insert eye roll - “many would be valedictorians at their public high schools”. Wouldn’t count on that. If you left your bubble for one second you might realize that there are super smart kids at public schools too - especially in this area.

Is it too late to start a non-profit organization for our junior?
No. Start one to help people that are suffering from OCD around college admissions.

Can you share the outcome? How many Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Stanford, etc?
Multiple of each.
Their college matriculations have been underwhelming for years. Underwhelming even with all the legacies, donations, VIPs, athletes etc.

Sidwell. The perpetual Lake Woebegone. And the only school to start multiple threads on that fact each year.

Lackluster results.
It’s way more than that. Nor everyone has updated on Instagram!
But all the ones I know of so far have a hook
Your underage drinking is sad. Go study for finals now, so you can have a restful winter break and come back strong!
