[quote=Anonymous]I have been told that the school pays particular attention to the essays so have your son give his best effort to them. Also the recommendations are important, so I would be selective in who you ask to give them (and emphasis how important they are so give the person an out if they don’t have time or don’t want to write them, then ask someone else). This was the advice we were giving when my son was applying last year. We were coming from a local private (but not Catholic school). My son did fine on the HSPT but not in the 99% like everyone else claims their kids did so we were worried about that. He had excellent MS grades. But I made sure he spent a lot of time doing the essays (there are a lot) and started them in September so he had 3 months to finish. We also did the optional third recommendation. He got in last spring in that crazy yield class. We are very grateful. [/quote]
