[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This case is going nowhere. Those stats are run of the mill at those schools, regardless of ethnicity. [/quote]

Run of the mill?

Nope. It’s all about donations. Who gives what. You scratch my back…

Just ask the families with kids from private schools how much they donated to their guidance counseling office to pass on to the Ivies admissions offices. There’s always a back door channel. Always.[/quote]

What private school are you referring to?  We are at a Big3 and all we do is complain about the counselor.  It was [u]last century[/u] when a counselor from a private could make a call.  Now it feels like there is very little they do.  They didn't even provide a list of viable schools.  Scoir runs your list through a program to spit out a letter of how balanced your list is based on GPA/tests.  My DD who had a C+ on her list of schools got into her ED.  That shows you how accurate it is.  The back channel is athletics (as Singer knew), big donations, and personal connections.  [/quote]
