[quote=Anonymous]Sidwell and all the other DC private school parents who have enough to send their kid to private school, expensive test prep, paying for psychologists to grant their kid more time but short on funds to donate a wing, acceptance into top colleges and ED will decrease. If the scandal didn’t highlight one big problem, I don’t know what else did. Wealthy families have a big advantage over middle class and lower. Colleges are know this and while they need the deep pockets for donations, many of the colleges with huge endowments are focusing on first generation and lower income students. Large endowed colleges may require less full freight students than the huge applicant pool each year. The private school counselors know this and working at these schools full of privileged families expecting Harvard, Yale etc. is demanding. If your kid doesn’t have a hook, they may need to focus on less popular but great schools and lighten up on your school’s counselor. [/quote]
