[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can you please break down those percentages by URM, legacy and sports recruits?  JK but without this information the stats are less meaningful.

It doesn't matter.  Bottom line, some schools are more academically rigorous and those students are more successful at getting admitted to top schools.  Yes, some will be legacy and recruited athletes, but the stark difference in percentages should tell you something.  If you are hoping to get into a top college, your chances are much higher if you attend either SR or VISI among the all girls Catholic schools in the area.[/quote]

It's just about money.  It's always about money and connections.  Stop pretending it's anything else.  The kids from our Catholic elementary that went to these schools were a mix academically and most were not top of the class.  They were just the most wealthy.[/quote]

Having had one already go through the process out of a DC Catholic HS, I scan assure you that it is not about money. You have to have the grades and test scores plus the extracurricular resume. Sounds more like you are blaming wealthy people for your kid not getting in. Maybe they just need to study harder and prep better for the tests. We don’t have any wealth and our oldest got into one of those top schools. [/quote]

No, kid got in.  Just didn't choose those schools.  [/quote]

Wait so you are one of those people with the money and connections and that’s how your kid got in?  Got it. [/quote]

what?  this makes no sense.  [/quote]

Read the whole thread.  The PP claimed that only wealthy students were getting into the top colleges..."The kids from our Catholic elementary that went to these schools were a mix academically and most were not top of the class.  They were just the most wealthy."...basically insinuating that non-wealthy students who are smarter aren't.  After all that they claimed their kid was admitted but turned down the top 20 college.
