[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP - You obviously understand all of this based on experience.

But to parents, grades and test scores are easy to understand.

And if your son or daughter has high test scores and grades, you might prefer it if those were the only criteria used.

That would certainly make the Admissions job easier. Just rank the applicants academically on a piece of paper and draw a line under the last name you have space for.

Schools aren't about to do this.

Parents who cannot see the world of these schools as the schools see it will continue to be mystified by results.

There is a formula and it's not very complicated.

Look at the past 5 years of your school... how many kids went to your target school.... GP/GZ/SJ.

Then rank the kids in your class

D1 athlete
legacy
great athlete
great student

If you have generally 5 kids that go to school x and your have a D1 likely and 5 legacies ahead of you... you are not getting in unless you are a a National Merit Scholar hopeful.

If you have 1 athlete and 2 legacies ahead of you and you are the smartest kid in the class you are 100% getting in. [/quote]
