[quote=Anonymous]Privates below the top tier understand that not all 99th pctile kids will get into a top tier private, because the top schools want a broad mix of kids, not just the brainy ones, and they only have so many slots. Other privates also understand that not all 99th pctile kids want to go to a top tier private, for various personal reasons. You should be fine, especially if you make your good reason known to them -- "we like your community better than at a super-competitive school" or something like that.[/quote]
