[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The only early admit we know this year was a legacy (grandfather, father, brother attended) and nephew of a world famous author. He was not an especially compelling candidate so it was a helpful learning experience for my junior daughter. [/quote]\\

HS most definitely a learning experience for our family. Some seemingly down to earth families we've known since ES going to great lengths to get kids into top schools. The most mind-boggling has been the Princeton multi-legacy family. Kid's grades are good, not stellar, and are talking about [b]moving kid to a boarding school in NE [/b]somewhere so they can be reclassed in their sport for better recruitment chances.

GL to all regular kids with stellar academics but not loaded and with no hooks![/quote]

I know a family who has done this for both of their kids, for college admissions. They're not seniors yet. I guess they'll know in a few years whether this strategy pays off. I prefer to spend more time with my kids, even if they get into a lower-ranked school.
