[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]4 kids applied from DD's school (including her) last cycle. 1 waitlisted, 2 rejected (including my DD), and 1 got in. The one who got in had a mixture of As and Bs at the time of application, same course rigor and math level as DD, who had all A+s. DD got a perfect score on the PSAT 9, the kid who got in was 90th percentile. DD has phenomenal leadership and volunteering ECs she discussed in her PoG essays. Everyone said she should have gotten in. My DD had no prep. The kid who got in had prep. Prep absolutely matters.[/quote] But your daughter got a perfect score and the other kid got in the 90th percentile. Who had the prep? Is this for froshmore application? If this is for the 8th grade application then welcome to the random nature of the application process. And what kind of prep did they do for essays?[/quote]
