[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Where is she currently? I do think that kids coming from a K-8 have the potential advantage in that their HOS has an established relationship with various high schools and can actively advocate on his/her students' behalf. Or, if they are at a parish school that has some sort of connection, that would make a difference too. If private or parochial, the heads of school will be able to advise you on whether your list is too weighted toward reaches or likelies. Coming from public school, I would err on the side of applying to more. [/quote] +1 We came from a K-8 and I know of several students that applied to 7+ schools and only got into one or two. We applied for only 4 and got into one. [/quote] Same. Coming from private doesn't guarantee a spot like it used to.[/quote]
