[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I said probably. I'm not presuming I know anything about the applicant, but for private schools where applicants are all the same stat wise, recommendations and essays play a huge role. Most admission officers I know have said the majority of the essays they read are mediocre. So it could very well be the reason a high stats student gets denied from many top schools.[/quote] Here is what happened at my kids private school - the B students w connections, legacies and money get into HYPS. The rest no matter how smarter the kid was unless it was an athlete or an orchestra/band kid, no one else did.[/quote] Same at our private. It's no wonder some kids spent more time with sports practice than on academics. Ironic really when the point is to get into a high academic school.[/quote]
