[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is common practice at top prep schools. They do this so one superstar doesn't sweep the Ivies and inadvertently keep other kids from getting a spot. They don't want one kid getting into all 8 Ivies, Stanford and MIT. That takes opportunities from other kids in the class and will make other families very angry. If your kid is the academic superstar, they want them admitted EA/ED to their first choice and out the process early so they aren't competing with other students. [/quote] +1 Your kid is competing with his classmates, because colleges will only admit a certain number of kids from a given HS. The HS is managing the competition internally.[/quote]
