Agree here, especially when a grad class runs from 75-150. If you have been around these families for 12, 9, 7 years, your kids will know a lot and you probably will too if you are involved in school/friendly with other parents. Also, if your DC is in the top academic classes, you pretty much hear the same names over and over, especially from MS onwards. I know DC is not one of the top four students based on GPA, but easily from 5-10 because of how much DC speculates based on their grades and others.

In re legacy/other hooks, DC's college counselor did once say to us that he knows when that is at play because a kid will get admitted somewhere and the student profile doesn't align with the other students (if any) being admitted in the class. While some parents will divulge when they are trying to make it happen, he usually finds out later one way or another.[/quote]

Did you figure your DCs relative standing out by senior year or did you have a good sense earlier as well? I suppose if your DC has a 3.9ish GPA, it is pretty obvious that there could not be too many students with higher numbers.[/quote]
