[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I[b]’m curious what the other students think of the non-athlete PG students?[/b][/quote] Many of them are Chinese and Indian students whose parents pay for them to get the 5th year in order to take advantage of the boarding school's college admissions office. So you can imagine what the other students think. Boarding schools are tough places to begin with - when the 5th year students show up in the fall, they immediately begin competing against the 4th year students who have been in situ for four years - all for the same spots at the ivies. It's not a good environment. And it's very expensive. But the boarding schools love it because they are cleaning up with full-freight students coming in for that extra year, each paying $50K. The boarding schools have complete control over how many to accept; who to accept; and they usually don't worry about scholarship offers since it is only for that one year.[/quote]
