[quote=Anonymous]DD got accepted as a day student with straight A's, high 90's SSAT, no connections, and not coming from a private school. Well rounded student with a variety of interests and extracurricular activities. Ultimately decided to go to a co-ed private, however met other students on revisit day, both day and boarding, who did not seem to have connections nor come from known privates that were also accepted. I really feel it is about the individual student and how well they fit. It's a different culture and our daughter felt at home every time she visited. It was a tough choice but Madeira didn't offer the language and extracurricular she was most interested in and although I'm sure she would have been happy there, she loves where she ultimately decided. In general, all our kids were accepted to top tier privates they applied to for 9th grade with no connections and not coming from private schools. I really do think all of the privates want the best mix of students and consider each applicant independently. It isn't as formulaic as some would lead you to believe. Every applicant has an opportunity. [/quote]
