[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Catholic High Schools definitely talk mainly to ensure each parochial student gets at least one acceptance. Although I can't prove this it seems to me that also talk about FA so one school doesn't outbid the others especially for athletes. [/quote]

I've talked to representatives at two K-8 schools that we are applying to and it's clear that they help the H.S.'s sort this out.  One flat out told me she has had conversations with HS letting them know which kids are only interested in one school and which would be happy at a couple of schools. Another school clearly "directs" students to an appropriate "first choice" where they are likely to get in based on their academic records.[/quote]

Yes, I know this to be the case as well. That's peculiar to private school exmissions for 8th grade, however, because the privates are all part of one big community. I've only heard of one private 8th grader not being accepted to a private for 9th, and that was a highly unique/unusual situation.[/quote]
