[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]From what I have seen - yes- it matters at certain schools - and usually the whole family is attractive, athletic and dresses well.........[/quote]
Looks count, of course. But for those who are not the best looking, they can fall back on "looks the part, professional and well dressed" and "talks the talk" or "speaks the language" [b]Great car helps also[/b]. In our school, the power moms all look the same -- like they should be in a catalog -- Very few who are not attractive.[/quote]

Of the selective schools where DC interviewed, only at Maret, I think, was there some risk the AD would look out her window and see our family getting out of our crappy car. We would never have qualified for FA, so they might have concluded we'd be hopeless at the auction or annual fund, and they would have been right. At the other K-12 schools, our car was hidden in the garage or off-street parking. DC got into a Big 3 which didn't get to peek at our car. You can call me nuts, and sometimes I wonder, but mostly I'm joking about this.[/quote]

Nah, according to DCUM standards, it's very "old money" to drive an older car ;). [/quote]
