[quote=Anonymous]I'm the PP who feels it is inappropriate to give children (even intelligent, generally responsible ones) decision-making power when it concerns a matter that can conceivably have such far-reaching consequences for another child's future and family finances. For the record, I don't necessarily disagree with rejecting an applicant because of work habits concerns. Also, my child is not yet old enough to apply, so I don't, at present, have a horse in the race. Of course, we'll want to go easy on our student correspondent, since we're the adults, here. That's important, ladies. I might be interested in Walls for my child in a few years, but I'm frankly put off by the idea that students are permitted to determine admission. I think teens respond far too strongly to social impressions and peer pressure and just aren't (yet) equipped to make nuanced evaluations of other people.[/quote]
