[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Same thing the private schools in England do to maximize their Oxbridge accepts. Open transparency, horse trading and lobbies for almost every capable student . Maybe you have to apply to balliol and not christs college or vice versa but it’s a lot better than fing up and going 2nd tier.

How deep and wide are the CCO relationships? Or do they only push what they know and let the chips fall?[/quote]

You understand that the days of a college guidance counselor picking up the phone and horsetrading a kid into a school are long since dead, right? Like, that just doesn't happen at all anymore.[/quote]

It happens less frequently than it used to. But it is not true that it doesn’t happen at all. And the Sidwell counselors’ collective inexperience at the school is definitely a disadvantage.[/quote]

They absolutely get a call asking them to force rank who applied to what department. Ask me how we know. Anyhow, worked out ok but not first choice but we were splicing hairs at that point.  Top 5 student. Asked to only apply to three total colleges. [/quote]
