[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ugh. The reactions here just underscore that people seem to think admission to these schools is IMPOSSIBLE when the reality is, it’s only impossible if you’re not prestigious/smart/wealthy. If you are any of those things, I’d say it’s just luck of the draw.

Also, all these schools will admit a couple of students late in the game if it’s because they are new to the area. The OP said she went to Exeter and they’re moving to DC this summer. This kid sounds like exactly the type of person they make space for. [/quote]

If you could read, you would notice that no one questioned that she got her ds into the school.  What no one believes is why they gave her an extension so that she doesn't have to sign a contract until August.

She got a junior into St. Albans.  Sure, I believe it.  She got a junior in to St. Albans and they said, "Take your time deciding.  Get back to us by August.  We'll hold a space open for him."  No, I don't believe that.  [/quote]

Why not?  Maybe she’s a VIP.  Maybe she’s super wealthy. Maybe she’s super connected. Not unusual around here. Just because you don’t experience such privilege, doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. [/quote]
