[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yeah, I think many people who have done this in previous years are not understanding just how bad admissions have been at a few schools this year. Once the lists comes out, I think people will be surprised. (My child did well because of a sport so this isn’t sour grapes.) [b]But several top students [/b]at our school had very mediocre outcomes in ways that surprised basically everyone. [/quote] The challenge is that those top students are going against top students from public with insanely strong academic records. [/quote] Which would be fine if it was true. But the truth is the people getting those spots are big donors, siblings, and athletes for the most part. [/quote] For the most part, maybe, but the spots going to just plain unhooked kids, at least at our Big 3, are going to kids who fit that profile or have something really unique to offer. [/quote]
