What experience factors does your child have?

I don't think that's truthful. Do you have any evidence to support these claims?

Why wouldn’t you trust someone who knows how to spell “wholistic”?

None, actually, but we're from a less affluent school, and DC has a perfect GPA in the highest math track.

If you're in the top 1.5% you'll get in

Yep, all the top kids get in. It's the lower scoring prepsters that no longer do as well since they made it harder to game.
