[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it's more likely that counselors just want the students who don't matter to get in at the easiest college with little effort so they can focus their efforts on the big donors' kids.[/quote] This is the stupidest thing that I have ever heard. Always the victim, and now it is at the expense of big donors. Less than 5% of current families at our private give in excess of $10,000 to the school on an annual basis. The vast majority of giving comes from alumni and former parents, who no longer have an axe to grind. So, to suggest that the entire counseling department organizes itself in service of 5 or 10 kids in any graduating class is preposterous. You don't think that the other 120 kids and their families would see through this after a while?[/quote]
