[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]
How odd, if a school has spots at 5,6,7,10,11, they tend to also have spots at 9.  The students that come in to our top tier school at 6, 7 and 9 are very strong students with insanely high ISEE scores.  [/quote]

Not that new students are bad, they are strong just not the strongest.  The existing student body comprises highly competent and talented students who work really hard.[/quote]

usually the stronger the school, the more they counsel kids out at some point.  it's really hard to pick the best of the best at 5, unless you're just picking the kids of the richest and more famous[/quote]
