One ‘24 Sidwell student is going to Yale. The one Princeton admit I’m aware of is going to Harvard.
There’s also 1 Sidwell student going to Stanford this year. So that’s a total of 6 students going to HYPSM from the c/o 2025.
I know of one other Sidwell student admitted to Stanford this year, but that student is going to Penn. There are 6 Sidwell students going to Penn this year.
How many of the 6 are hooked? (legacy or athletic recruits or URM (granted URM hook is more ambiguous this year))?

yes, SCOIR for NCS is scary. Vanderbilt, Duke, Rice, etc. You basically need a 3.98. One A- max over 4 years and it can only be in a semester long course (not a full year). There are really only 1 or 2 girls per grade who qualify for these schools.
That’s definitely not the case at GDS, STA, and Sidwell. Students from those schools consistently get into those colleges with cumulative 3.80 to 3.90 GPAs.
What’s going on at NCS?!?
My kid has a 3.86/1550 and per NCS SCOIR she is in the Boston College, Colgate, Davidson type band. Pretty much all the top 25 universities are above her pay grade (i.e. the star representing her stats is in a sea of red denials). Which means they're really only available to girls in the top 10% of the class. It's sobering.
Can any other NCS parent comment? I'm confused by this whole thing.
Get ready to apply ED to Chicago.
Are these recommendations for ED or RD? Doesn't that make a huge difference?
No. the girls getting in to Duke/Vandy, etc are doing ED. but they don't get in without the 3.9++ as well.

Grade inflation.
No, the average GPA is 3.5. If anything NCS grades are deflated even relative to Sidwell, STA, GDS.
As I said, only 1-3 girls in a class are even in the 3.95+ Duke, Vanderbilt, Rice, H, Y, P, band.
If SCOIR is to believed, these schools are off the table to everyone else.
But that isn't reflected in the instagram page. They must remove legacy from SCOIR.

These poor girls. To grind for four years only to be told every top school is out of the question and you should have worked harder.
Yes. Their life will be ruined if they go to, gasp, BC.
They're not going to BC unless they're at the top of the class.

If unhooked, she needs at least a 3.92 and 1580.
Sorry, OP, you should have opted for public.

Ever since NCS SCOIR has taken out hooked applicants on the scattergrams things have gotten depressing.
