[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Field and Burke are looking for different kinds of students. People on DCUM seem to think that these schools are for kids who cannot gain admission to the more competitive area independent schools. It is not true. They don’t care as much about test scores and GPA’s. [/quote] +1. Also, they are really small schools, so there just aren't that many spots to be had and they are trying to find a mix of students. [/quote] I agree with the above to a point. Part of what you say contradicts. You say that Burke and Field are schools not concerned with test scores and GPA (there were no test scores to look at the past two years at really any independent school, btw) but have previously imply that these students could likely get into more competitive area schools, schools which do care about these things. The same child is not usually admitted to both types of schools.[/quote]
