[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]While there are certainly some students with strong connections, the whole "hooked" obsession strikes me as being the copium that a lot of independent school parents use to explain why their kids didn't get into the preferred schools. You'll see the same arguments on the private school boards, rationalizing why their "unhooked" kids didn't get into GDS, SFS, NCS, STA, Maret and Potomac. When you dig deeper, you'll start seeing that people stretch the "hooked" definition. To some, this includes wealthy alumni children, wealthy non-alumni children, non-wealthy alumni children, athletes, people of color, financially disadvantaged kids, first generation kids and pretty much everyone but their child.
