[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]20% of children nationally have learning differences.  20% of students at the top 3 have learning differences.  Don't assume that your child can't be accommodated, because if s/he is bright and curious, s/he will do just fine in any school.  [/quote]

[b]Selective admissions processes and subsequent counseling out [/b]mean the students at the Big 3 do not mirror the general population. That's why people pay the big $. [/quote]

If you have big$'s or are  a prominent alumni, your kid is going to get in regardless if they have learning differences or not. It happens more than  you think.[/quote]

That may be true, but not all children of prominent alumni have LDs, and I do know some at my school whose children would have or did get in who chose to go elsewhere. So I highly doubt that 20% of the kids have LDs.

OP the homework thing mentioned by a PP is a real consideration. My DC with ADHD and LDs (who did not go to my Big 3 alma mater!) struggled with the homework load in HS. DC did fine, but it was pretty painful at times.[/quote]
