[quote=Anonymous]It can be hard to know for sure. There are like 25,000 high schools out there. Colleges have plenty of options and will both prefer and blacklist certain high schools. At our school, it's Duke. Five years ago, 4 or 5 acceptances were the norm. Now, absolutely no one gets in. Straight up rejections across the board. Not even deferrals - hard rejections for several years now. And it may very well be because of a former ED student who poisoned the well for everyone else. That would make sense. Duke has 24,999 other high schools to choose from. Why deal with a high school with students, parents, principles and counselors who don't play by the rules? There are a lot of other good high schools out there. I do think a rotten family or two can impact admissions for years. [/quote]
