[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Abandoning your "in-demand private schools intentionally select for hooked kids to boost their own college admission stats" claim when pressed for evidence, I see.[/quote] The question was why do colleges do this, not a request for evidence that they do it. Evidence is easy, I myself happen to be evidence that they do it - I was the child of professors at a highly selective school who got into that school early, with infinitely better-qualified students in my own high school class waitlisted or outright rejected. That's why I'm so jaded about private schools' claims that they can give anyone a real leg up based on other students' college matriculation success.[/quote] Now you're shifting the goalposts. We were talking about hooks for private school admissions, not college admissions. Two completely different things.[/quote]
