[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a “big 3” family, I’ve been around long enough to hear the same thing, that applications are up every year.

It’s probably true but are the increases in line with or above general increases in the population of 14 year olds?[/quote]

agreed.  but i think this was actually valid as it was said in the context of "your friends may have some luck in grade X but grade 9 apps are way up this year". [/quote]
Isn’t the admissions folks job to talk up the school? I think you’re reading too much into it. [/quote]

why would they discourage people from applying to 9th?  When asked the question: "should our friends submit an application to 9th, the response was:. "no, there is no point. applications are are way up".  
Then question two:  How about grade XX?  The answer was: "someone moving from out-of-town might have a shot at that grade. we're busy but nothing like 9th.  There could be an outside chance".  [/quote]
Hasn’t the application deadline already passed? Why encourage people to apply late?[/quote]
