[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wouldn’t dismiss PP niece’s story and I certainly wouldn’t think of her approach as arrogant. It is no doubt no different that what students at these schools with her stats have been doing for years. Things have changed in the last few years and these high schools have not caught up in their thinking.

Moving to a rural town from a tony private school in NYC junior year has to be one of the most ridiculous things I have heard in some time. do they think the colleges just don’t notice dalton on the transcript? [/quote]

You don't understand. Colleges want to able to check boxes. Very few actually give a c**p about true diversity. A strong (previously-at-Dalton) kid now applying from rural Maine is only helping them out.[/quote]

Wouldn’t it be simpler to just go to boarding school, then? The kid checks the same “rural Maine” box either way. And the parents can stay in Manhattan. [/quote]

No. Because "Maine" isn't enough. The school has to be on the wrong side of the tracks.[/quote]
