[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And to be clear, I’m not for a second saying that rich kids need to be less qualified. I genuinely don’t believe that. But, the reality (horror, I know) is that a huge number of kids are substantially similar. They’re good kids with great grades and test scores, glowing recommendations, solid interviews, and thoughtful extracurricular activities. If your kid falls into that category, they are the rule, not the exception specifically in the rarified bubble strata of private school admissions in DC. It doesn’t make them less wonderful, it’s just reality. [/quote] Talk about naive! Of course wealthy kids don’t have to be as qualified. You said yourself money talks. But allowing ed consultants to influence admissions decisions adds that extra thumb on the scale for the rich kids. [/quote]
