[quote=Anonymous]That is an excellent point. A feast year could have a more adverse impact on the future period run-rate than positive. I don't think administrators at this particular boarding school were too excited about the terrific 8 count that one year. It impacts parents and kids to rationalize that the higher count is repeat obtainable, and it isn't unless again the condition is a future year concentration of Bass or Johnson family kin and the like plus ice hockey ringers. Another point is at this particular boarding prep there is a lot of latent hostility from parents and kids who are in the top tier for grades and scores, don't have the hooks and all around them are families with hooks. I can never forget the stress and anxiety we had as a family just praying our son's merits would not get totally smoked out by the kids who had hooks. He applied to all 8 Ivies and to two little Ivies and we were just so ecstatic to see the first admit package come. He wound up with a choice between three schools and is really happy, and I don't discount that he was lucky considering the density function of qualified and preferred candidates out of his prep. It was almost a curse in some ways to be an applicant from the prep he attended.[/quote]
