[quote=Anonymous][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]

It was probably his recommendations. Have you had any issues with the current school? [/quote]

No, needed 2 recommendations and spoke to both and they were terrific. One actually contacted me asking why I was seeking other school. He wanted to know if we were unhappy and to know if there was something they could do to keep us. Firmly believe that we have no connection to the school as the reason. Nothing was missing and or deficient. [/quote]
