[quote=saguaro][quote=Anonymous]So I keep hearing recently that it is pretty much impossible to get admitted to Holton for 3rd grade if your DD doesn't do test prep for the ERB test. It sounds so ridiculous to do that to a 7- or 8- year old girl, but I know that Holton puts a lot of stock in this test (their AD said as much during our interview). But all that means is that instead of screening the girls based on their ability, they are really just screening them based on the parents' ability (and willingness) to make their girls go through a couple of weeks of test prep. Sorry, but we don't have that kind of time on our hands. Needless to say, I don't hold out much hope, even though our DD is pretty bright and has a good WISC result and good grades. [/quote] My daughter got in for third a few years ago and we did not prep her for the test at all. She has been waitlisted right now for 6th there.[/quote]
