[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love people who somehow know what "hook" a dozen different kids have in a graduating class.

Kids at Big 3 schools get into top 25-50 schools because they come from a well-known, competitive high school, generally have good college counseling, are generally well-rounded, are smart, sometimes wealthy.

If all of these are hooks, then so be it, but it sure sounds like "hooks" are how people rationalize others getting into better schools (high schools or colleges) than their kid.[/quote]

Does your kid not talk to classmates?  My Big3 kid does and knows what hooks many kids have just by going to school this past year. The kids talk a lot. There are many parents who call in favors or who are VIPs. The kids know whose parents made a phone call or who knows who. But they honestly don't care. They brush it off and are just happy for their friends. My own kid has an excellent college outcome and is thrilled for the others.

I only share to make the St. Anselem's parents and others feel better about college counseling. There is just so much that goes on behind the scenes at the Big3 schools, NYC schools, etc. All the kids are well prepared and will do very well in college. But it is not just "excellent college counseling" that is getting many of them there.  [/quote]
