[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sidwell is notorious for attempting to limit how many kids apply to each top school. I know several pissed off families who applied places Sidwell assured them were out of reach, whose kids were admitted.

So this girls experience is not unique,  and is common enough situation that it is likely not going to win a lawsuit.[/quote]

And in each one of those cases, there were[b] recommendations[/b] and transcripts sent by the school to those reach colleges, just like with the plaintiff. I know that is what you were trying to say, but it needs to be reiterated.[/quote]

DP.  Recommendations are easily manipulated.  It is quite reasonable to think that a school could easily funnel its applicant pool so that only a few make it through.  If that is what is happening then that is pretty despicable.[/quote]

What possible reason would a school have to sandbag a student? They presumably would want to have the highest and best record of college placement possible. Having a student who wants to matriculate in the fall after their senior year not gain admittance anywhere is not in their interest. It doesn't make logical sense, regardless of how "difficult" a student or their family might be.[/quote]
