[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The troll thrives on the debate in all of her threads, even when she’s completely wrong and perhaps she’s even arguing a point she doesn’t agree with. That’s where she gets her twisted a sense of excitement. There’s no good faith to any of her posts. She’s not truly trying to learn anything or solve any problems. She’s just using you for her entertainment.  Accumulating over seven pages of responses and just one morning is such a stimulant and so empowering.  Ignore her. Let this thread disappear into obscurity.  [/quote]

I don't know, nor do I care, if a troll started this thread because it's a very good topic. I am more intrigued by the hysterical attitude that we don't deserve to know more or have more transparency in the admissions process. I am not claiming we have the right to it, that's a separate legal topic, but for those of us who are not naturally part of the private school world, it can be byzantine and leaving us wary, schools rolling out the red carpet without being frank. And it is still effort and money and multiple hoops to jump through. And if I knew the chances for my non sibling, non legacy, non sporty, non minority kid was more like 5% rather than 25%, it definitely makes a difference in deciding whether to toss our hat in the ring.

Will say all the adcomms we've dealt with have been very nice and friendly. [/quote]
