[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]parent of white kid who had no hooks who got into very top SLAC... agree... she can't even celebrate her acceptance because she has to tiptoe around all of the kids who assume she is legacy or are mad that she got in and they didn't. its ridiculous.[/quote]

Let's be frank, nobody really cares if your kid got into a SLAC. I doubt there's any high school where more more than one kid applies to the same SLAC, so there's really no competition. Kids that go to SLACs go because they are playing a sport there or have some personal connection to the school.[/quote]

Absolute nonsense. My very high stats magnet kid didn’t apply to several SLACs because acceptance rates are so low. And DC needs merit aid to attend $70,000/year + private schools. Yes, also applied and accepted to state flagship. Based on DC’s experience, the great differentiator is ED versus RD.  For those who think my kid didn’t have a chance, waitlisted at several top 20 schools despite 4.85w, 500 hours SSL, NMF, National competition awards, varsity captain, leadership awards (school and intl), music and language awards, 1560 SAT.  However, we were realistic about DC’s chances given ED acceptance rates and it’s all good. What school wouldn’t prefer possibly full-pay plus guaranteed acceptance? I wound have prioritized the same way.
