[quote=Anonymous]The Big 3 have been telling parents for the last 10 or so years that they have less and less pull with AOs. This is not the 1990s people, where sending your kid to a Big 3 meant it gave them a solid leg up in T10 admissions. TO has just complicated things more. A lot of Big 3 parents are Genx and younger boomers (and immigrant parents) who despite being told these things by the school and other parents just refuse to believe it, because when our kids started in K, we didn't see this trend coming. I do think most of us have gotten this message, but, there are still some holdouts. All schools send a profile along with the transcript so AOs know what a 3.7 at Sidwell vs. a 3.7 from an MCPS high school means. Admissions is just harder, too many kids, too few spots in top schools (and top schools are building a class that isn't going to pull as many kids from elite private schools).[/quote]
