[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son got into a top school EA. It was the school where dh and I attended. He is a top student in all respects, hard worker, great stats/rigor, leadership, community service, etc. And none of this was pushed/curated by us, he really drove it all (including applications), and we are really proud of him. A couple of kids from school who got rejected said “oh but your parents went there” like that’s the only reason he got in. I know it helps that we did, of course, but his stats match the student population, it’s not like he was pulled up despite bad grades/scores. We aren’t big benefactors either, it’s not like the school would see big donations in our history. So how to respond if someone says that? [/quote] "Yes. That also played a part, because a lot of students with similar high stats get rejected. We are very lucky and privileged. Also, thrilled that he got into that school."[/quote]
