[quote=Anonymous]+1, good point. I have an 8th grader heading to Wilson (turned down Walls, and Latin ms for Deal). Guidance counselors at city high schools tend to greatly exaggerate the extent to which grads are being admitted to elite colleges. They will have, say, one kid in at Harvard, MIT, Princeton, Stanford etc. every other year, and spin the story to give you the impression that 10 are admitted annually. The stats are hard to come by (I like how some privates make college admissions info public), leaving parents hard pressed to find an administrator who takes ivy league admissions seriously. The schools do seem to do a good job heping kids get into state college and universities. Maybe Basis will actually change all this, but I'd be surprised with so few parents who know the ropes stay for hS to keep administrators honest. I plan to keep an open mind about Basis for our younger son, but am not holding my breath. :!:[/quote]
