[quote=Anonymous]I could have written below for a lower year in MS. You don’t know what other parents essays say, which parents don’t ask ridiculous questions, and who graciously shows up at school events. It’s a lot of factors and you can’t compare across years and grades. [quote=Anonymous]Our DD was accepted to a selective MS for 8th grade from public. No hooks. We had to work extra hard to make sure it didn't come down to luck. She had good grades and high test scores. We got strong recommendations and spent a lot of time polishing the essays and prepping for the interview. We did everything within our control to make her stand out including being seen at as many school events as we could. We sent a first choice letter and are full pay, but not potential large donor. Basically, we treated this as our dry run for college application.[/quote][/quote]
