[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I actually disagree. If a school has *no* or *almost no* admissions to T15 schools in the average year, that's an issue for me. My kids don't have any hooks, but are quite smart. Some high schools are good at making sure those kids get into good schools; some aren't. It matters.[/quote]

The high schools have absolutely nothing to do with it.[/quote]

Incorrect, both directly and indirectly. Whether or not a school offers advanced classes and a quality college counseling office matters. You are also ignorant of realty if you think that all applicants of all HS are treated the same. There's a reason that elite boarding schools and superior ranked public HS get 4-10 kids into Ivy schools when most schools can hope for 1 or 2. Colleges weigh he reputation and prior outcomes in considering admissions.

None of this is to say that a school can get an unqualified kid into a an elite school, or that a kid can't gain admission from DCI or any school. But it is ignorance and folly to ignore the reality.[/quote]
