[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]elite colleges will be easier. In actuality, colleges draw from this pool for the following: Full Pay, Legacy, URM, HOOK. MOST will have 3/4 of the aforementioned therefore killing a logo of birds with one stone. If you don't or won't have 3/4 of those criteria, not only shouldn't you send them there, you should also skip TJ and go right to a middle of the road public HS that offers either IB or AP. Have your kid graduate in top 5% of that class. Much easier path.[/quote]

My dd went to one of these schools and is thriving at a SLAC. Yes she applied to some super reaches, but no one "expects" to get in so it was no surprise. It doesn't matter in the end, most kids end up where they are supposed to in the end. I don't disagree with your assertion on who actually gets in bc that was pretty much how it worked out at our HS, but that doesn't mean that for a minute we regret sending her there. Were there some sour grapes parents? Yes, there were, but they had the wrong motivations for sending their kid...[/quote]
