[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's hard not to see how it doesn't influence admissions for 9th and 6th. Less for K entry. We are applying for 9th grade and the schools clearly have a lot of kids doing shadows and it's a hassle for the schools so they wouldn't do it unless they clearly got something out of it. [b] My guess is that it allows admissions to see if the kid passes a minimum threshold of personality and likability that can't be seen in just grades and scores and teacher refs [/b] . Someone on a recent thread commented quite a few kids are no-go admits following the shadow. How true this is I do not know but suspect there is some truth. [/quote] True, but they should be able to assess this in a 20 min interview. [/quote]
