[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We’re waiting to hear from Madeira.  I’ve been told that the number of applicants the last couple years has grown quite a bit and that an impeccable, straight-A transcript is no sure thing as the school has tried  to diversify its student body.  [/quote]

Or maybe the brown applicants have straight As too! [/quote]

or maybe whitey gets in with less than perfect grades but varied extracurricular interests/talents (which is what I’ve heard Madeira weighs perhaps more than other schools—the extracurriculars, I mean)! However you want to play it, Snarky McSnarketan…[/quote]

Are you ok?[/quote]

I’m good, thank you.  When I originally said Madeira was trying to diversify, I meant admitting students that had other talents beyond academic—I wasn’t thinking about race at all…Anyway, onwards and upwards…I can’t remember from the interview what percentage of boarders are international and how that might play in the admissions process.[/quote]
