[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In the event that OP is asking to try to guage the degree of connections or influence any given Lower school has to "place" their would be one day 3rd grader or 6th or 9th grader, I say this:

Provided that your DC is reasonably bright and with no hooks like URM or D1 level Athletic potential, the biggest influencer is not so much the Outplacement Director ( NCRC, Little Folks, BVR, St Pats ) BUT YOU

* Donate heavily ( 10K-25K in year before you apply out )
     * try to get that Auction Chair, PA Head or Board member seat 1-2 years prior to applying out
     * Volunteer and back the HOS in All her battles[/quote]
While the basic gist of this is true (i.e., be a valued member of the school community), it goes too far in what's actually necessary.

You just have to donate a decent amount. Low four figures is plenty. No need to be auction chair or head of the parents association, but heavily involved is enough. No need to go out on a limb supporting the HOS, just don't be a PITA family. That combined with your kid being one of the best students in the grade will usually mean getting admitted to one of your top two choice schools.[/quote]
