No one's disputing the admission odds are long.  But to me, your post seems to suggest that admissions may be significantly more likely for "a sibling, a legacy, an URM, a "VIP", politico, or press kid."  Is that a fair reading of what you posted?  Or did you mean something else entirely?

If I understood you correctly, do you have any first-hand evidence that's true for Sidwell specifically?  Or is that just your innate sense of how admissions must work at private schools generally?

To be clear, I'm not trying to criticize you or argue with you.  I'm just curious if you know some inside info about the Sidwell admissions process that the rest of us don't.  It seems like you're just speculating like the rest of us (albeit making reasonable assumptions based on what many of us read on DCUM), but I'm trying to make sure I understand you.[/quote]
