[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agree about the difficulty of coming from public. My DC (who had excellent grades, nearly perfect SSAT scores, two club sports, and played an instrument at a high level) was waitlisted from 2 of the Big 3s. As public school parents, we had no clue how the private school process worked. For instance, we didn't understand the value of a "first choice" letter. We also didn't realize that the applicants coming from K-8 privates would have someone advocating for them. It all worked out; DC got into top choice after writing a heartfelt letter, but I wish we had understood the process better at the outset. [/quote] What is a first choice letter? also a public school parent very new to all of this[/quote]
