[quote=Anonymous]Did you ask why? Having just gone through this process, we had a wide range of schools. My child has ADHD, but is academically high achieving with excellent ISEEs too, so we applied to a variety of schools, with schools like Dwight being what we considered "safeties," even though honestly there's no such thing. We knew programs like Dwight would not be spooked by their diagnosis in case others were. My child got into 8/9 schools we applied to and the one they didn't get into still feels weird, and our K-8 was baffled but I couldn't be bothered to follow up since they got into higher ranked schools. I find that K-8 often push the safeties first, maybe to soften expectations of TT? Honestly I didn't listen to our K-8 recommendations ultimately, but smiled and nodded and agreed with their initial recommendations so as not to be flagged as a problem. Then I did my own research, and didn't rely on them too much during the process. Annoying in light of how much money we've spent, but I let my child's grades, test scores, interviews and recommendations do the heavy work and ultimately that was enough.[/quote]
