[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Yes, this is what I assumed. The best I can do is hope that the schools at least try to diversify their admitted students a bit. I think my kid is a strong applicant but without a hook all we can do is keep our fingers crossed I suppose. Thanks everyone.[/quote] You want a hook? Write about how much you (or especially DH, if applicable) gets involved in school activities at your current school. They like really involved parents, especially the fathers. More involvement in school can mean more likely to make donations. Most people don't mention this in applications, so if you do and it's defensible, it can be worth it. My DH was one of the organizers of father's event at our school each year.[/quote]
