[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Trick question. Only hooked students are admitted to HYPS. [/quote]
Then what explains all the posts denigrating a private school's admits as being based on hooks? If everyone (both public and private) gets in due to some kind of hook, then why are private school admits being targeted specifically?[/quote]

Only the private schools publish the college list in their marketing material and charge $50,000 a year. [/quote]

School Without Walls publishes college admissions in their school profile. That’s marketing as well.[/quote]

Remind me what SWW charges in annual tuition?[/quote]

Oh, so all of these denigrating posts are because you were too poor to send your children to private school? That’s what I thought.

It seems fairly obvious to me that [b]people who pay $200,000+ for high school, based on college lists marketed to them,[/b] have invested more than people who have paid $0, and therefore are more apt to be upset about any gap between the advertised college results and the actual college results. I expect it also helps that the bottom of the list at Walls has always been quite mundane, so that the Walls list does not implicitly promise a T50 or T100 result the way the lists at private schools do. That is why people are angrier about the results for unhooked kids from  privates this year than the results for unhooked kids from Walls. (Which, if you will recall, was your initial question.)[/quote]

Here is the thing...NONE of these schools use college matriculation lists to market to prospective students. You can't even get official lists from schools like Sidwell.[/quote]
