[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What’s the word on the new AD in terms of who he favors. The last 2 coached lax and soccer so it was no surprise who had an edge in admissions. The new guy is not a coach so I’m hoping some reasonableness returns to the admissions equation??[/quote] Define "reasonableness". His agenda seems to be one of "diversity" [/quote] +1. He talks a good game, but in the end, most admits are siblings, legacies (a lock for admission) and families with hooks/ connections of some sort.[/quote] THIS is TRUTH[/quote] I wholeheartedly agree. My son had all A’s on his report card from another boys schools with a ranked one below Albans in Dc. He plays a sport, chess, competed in robotics and was denied. We have no connection or hook and was foolish to believe he had a chance based on merit. [/quote] You keep saying your son is at a school “ranked one below St. Albans.” What ranking are you talking about? Something silly like Niche? You sound naive. If your son was applying for 7th from another DC boy’s school, I assume you were at St Anslems? Are you the parent always bad mouthing that school? Maybe STA sensed you are a PITA? Just a thought…[/quote]
