[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If DD is an underrepresented minority, from a lower SES family or first-generation, I would think twice about attending this school unless there is a community of similar students and official support from the administration (like an office of minority affairs, etc.). If her biggest issue is executive functioning - if she's been able to manage her high school workload by herself without your help, she might be ok. If you've been overseeing her work, helping her to keep organized, etc. I think she'll fall apart. [/quote]

She's Caucasian and we are full pay.

Thank you.

[i]From a URM parent who is so bleeping tired of opinions like the one above. Situations like this deal more with class than race, and the opportunity that comes with class differences. We are a URM family and (thankfully) are part of a broader family of upper class professionals who have access to top schools, clubs, etc. It makes a difference in being able to compete and not being considered that affirmative action/URM kid that is taking your kid's spot since they score 50 points lower on the SAT than your kid did.[/i][/quote]
