[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can’t find the quote, but whoever said the kids coming in at 6th or 9th aren’t getting into top colleges has it backwards.

These schools bring in ringers in 9th. Not siblings, not because of mom and dad. They bring in the start students, the d1 athletes and many URM kids already vetted by prep for prep, teak, Oliver’s etc (to backfill the seats that are emptied around 6th when the school counseled out the URM they took in k that didn’t work out). It’s always about what’s good for the school.

A shout out for Regis who holds its own in the crazy world with some but far fewer legacy, connected and hooked. If I had a boy and was catholic, that would be top of my list. [/quote]

Not the case in our school.  Not all the kids coming in at 6th or 9th rise to the top.  A few do.  The rest middle of the pack.[/quote]

It is so very difficult to get into a top tier NYC private school at 6th or 9th grade.   Most are definitely very accomplished.  [/quote]
