[quote=Anonymous]I'm the poster that 18:16 is addressing. She asked if I have any personal experience that makes me so cynical. I do. I know two families fairly well, to the point where I know SAT scores (big difference between the kids), grades (little difference), parent "reasonableness" for lack of a better word (very little difference) and parent participation in the school in terms of money and time (big difference, the family with the low SAT kid was wealthy). I probably don't have to tell you which kid got in - the very low SATs. What surprised me was that the OD did very little for the high SAT/middle class kid. For example, the mom told me that she asked the OD to call a school on their behalf to help with the wait list (this was in May or June) and the OD told her she left a voicemail, instead of talking to a real person at the target school. I trust the mom who told me this, so I have no reason to doubt it. [/quote]
