[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A weaker student will get in from a private school because that is how private schools work. They need to get a spot for everyone somewhere because this is part of what the parents are paying for, and they all work together to make that happen. [/quote] This x100. And as classes expand, there are some spaces for kids from public school who help round out a class in a way that the schools need -- and which change year to year. Some years they need more science-oriented kids, other years they need basketball or field hockey players and sometimes they need to bring some kind of diversity to the school. It's unknowable and you need to apply widely because you don't know what they're looking for.[/quote]
