[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, are you at public or private school? My impression is that the private schools are doing better as their counselors cultivate relationships with admissions offices. [/quote]

Private, and they did a wonderful job. It's just hard to compete in an environment where you have to achieve well beyond your years in order to be looked at seriously.

I wonder what kind of schooling/experiences the admissions officers have that are doing the choosing? I also wonder where there biases lie. I know colleges will check social media on the kids, but I also found out from a very reliable inside source, that colleges will also go onto the social media of the parents and red flag the kids' files if they see things they don't agree with, such as political affiliation, etc.[/quote]
 
Are you for real? Who has admissions officers with time to check parent politics? Money for donations, maybe, but I've heard from advancement officers that the advancement office gets a limited # of put-forwards per year. Barring major royality, etc. I cant  believe places other than  a few Highly religious schools have time for this. You just sound like you're trying to assign blame in a process that's slready a crapshoot.[/quote]

You have to be the same person who doesn't understand the Constitution.

Amissions DEPARTMENTS do this - do you think there is one or two people in the department. In a particularly high application year, they don't have much time for this, but rest assured, it's not uncommon. Do some of your own research.[/quote]
