[quote=pbraverman]Everything counts. That said, I've worked with independent school admission offices for nearly 20 years, and I've never heard someone say "We're concerned about John because Jane's grades are mediocre." It seems pretty far outside the admission process to compare siblings on that kind of metric. If there are broader family issues (uncooperative parents, e.g., as a PP noted, or accounts frequently in arrears), those factors could certainly come into play. However, it seems like stating the obvious to say that admission officers recognize that children, even those from the same family, are different.[/quote]
