[quote=Anonymous]I think who you know in the school is a big factor. If you know someone on the Board, you are pretty much guaranteed acceptance. Legacy and pedigree also matters. There are a lot of smart kids applying and the top schools have very limited spots so it’s not always the brightest kids that are getting accepted. It’s a mixture of legacy, pedigree, who you know in the school, siblings, etc. I actually think test scores and extracurriculars don’t matter as much. Also how are we even supposed to know test scores where schools have their own admission tests such as Potomac? We were never told our child’s score. [/quote]
