[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One of the prep companies is claiming 85% success rate this year.  Appears that the Admissions office managed to make the Pay to Play problem even worse.  [/quote]

First of all, this company that you're referring to charges a LOT less than similar companies. I won't name them here because I'm not trying to feed them any business.

Second, they hand-select who they will admit into the program based on perceived likelihood of success. Credit to them, but they won't take the money of a family who they think has no shot.

Third, their claim of 85% success is unsubstantiated.[/quote]

This is all true, but does not counter that prep is extremely effective under the “reformed” system. Admissions are still being gamed.

Lottery would be the best solution. [/quote]

Alternatively just accept that people in wealthy areas will ensure their kids are prepped, so let them compete against each other to determine the best by instituting geographic norms.[/quote]
