[quote=Anonymous]We are applying to Exeter.

Not sure that it's a good fit for our non-binary, lesbian daughter (she/they) because it seems conservative.  She's extremely advanced academically but that's only one small consideration.

We are also applying to CRMS.  Her sports are rock-climbing and downhill skiing so that's a good fit for her sports.  But less so academically.

We are then applying to a local private art school that is very LGBQT+. She's an artist so that is the best fit for our family and they have already recruited her and made a soft offer.  She's determined to go to a boarding school however.  She had wanted to apply to many others (Andover, Care, Thacher, etc) but I cannot justify all that app fees.

We are taking the SSAT even though none require it.  It's only because she tests so well.  Personally, as someone who also tests well, I don't think tests should be used.  They only test how well someone tests and I was accepted to Harvard on that basis and really wasn't as smart as my classmates and it was then hard to fit in as a result.  It's one of the most ridiculous and laziest parts of admission process.[/quote]
