[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That makes no sense. I thought the whole point of hooked kids is that they don't necessarily have to fit the right mold because the hook (they have a sibling who attends or a parent who works at the school) is what gets them admitted.[/quote] In-demand private schools intentionally select for hooked kids to boost their own college admission stats. It's an easy win for them.[/quote] How would admitting students whose parent work at the school or siblings of current students materially improve their college admissions stats, especially when they are 3 or 4 years old and you have no idea whether they will even be remotely strong enough academically to have a realistic chance at top colleges?[/quote] It's all a statistics game, and the odds are simply better for those kids than for others of a similar age without that potential leg-up.[/quote]
