[quote=Anonymous]It would be fascinating if a lawsuit could compel this data. But I wonder if accurate records are even kept at smaller privates or if the juicy stuff is buried in verbal conversations and meetings without recorded minutes. Some of this starts at the preschool level, with HOS's googling addresses and resumes of all families. I've found so many admissions decisions bizarre until years later, when the missing piece of the puzzle emerged—usually a parent sitting on a board of a feeder school or a grandparent who was a mega-donor. I'm also curious to which extent independent schools mimic the priorities of colleges. Until recently, diverse candidates were incredibly prioritized in admissions and athletic recruitment was rare, but it seems to be shifting. [/quote]
