I bet that 90% of Maret's Ivy admits are hooked.  The ones I know definitely are.[/quote]

I would put this at 95% for Maret this year.  They're great/smart kids but they got the Ivy Admit because of 1)multi generational legacy 2)athletic recruitment 3)being an URM. 
[b]If you are not 2 out of 3 of these, going to Maret is not going to help you get into the Ivy League one bit. [/b]

Since 1) and 3) are primary hooks for local privates like Maret, I don’t see why anyone is complaining. That’s how your kid got into your private in the first place, especially if they got in when they were 5.

Exactly. But there are many of us at Maret without those hooks and like GDS a lot of complaining about who got in and who didn't. The kids who got in are fine but my kid had higher scores and didn't. And the counselors are all in on it. The only other unhooked who faired well paid dearly for an outside counselor and many of us in retrospect wish we did.[/quote]
