[quote=Anonymous]Your son’s admission chances depend on how many of these boxes you can check: Legacy (A family connection to the school, especially parents or even grandparents and aunts and uncles) Is Catholic. Attended a Catholic middle school ( especially one that is a frequent contributor of students and whose input on applicants is trusted by Good student as evidenced by test scores and grades. (Able to do the work.) Athlete (especially in the sports the schools care about ) Full pay or almost full pay. If your son checks all these boxes, their admissions chances are very high. The fewer the boxes, the lower the chances, in the absence of being truly outstanding in something else. Most extracurricular activities won’t matter. This isn’t like college admissions where you can pad your resume with a lot of activities. These schools receive a lot of applications from those fleeing the public schools. Some of them get in, but most do not. [/quote]
