[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What would be the point of strategizing to increase odds of going to school that wasn’t his first choice?[/quote]

That was my thinking (and his too).  But other threads mention changing ED based on other kids applying and needing to ask for recs super early to get best teachers (my kid just picked his favorite teachers) and working harder for teachers who write recs (my kid has to work hard in all his classes).

Thanks for the reassurance that our family isn’t the only ones out there thinking like this.[/quote]

My kids are at top privates and that poster sounds unhinged to me.  Private does sometimes provide opportunities to know the teachers better, but the machinations described don’t match our experience and seem unlikely to matter in the end,[/quote]

My kids are in two different Big3 schools and i have never heard of this happening either.  My kids naturally know some teachers better as they've had them for multiple classses in their areas of interest.  None of this was strategic in the least. 
The other poster sounds nuts.  I have never encountered people like her at our schools.  [/quote]
