[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We will be applying to high schools in a few years.  The admission staff at many of the schools we have looked at in the past seemed to be much more concerned with the parents than the kids.  We believe for high school that changes.  We are nobodies who were not given the time of day.  We are secretly fairly wealthy.  We give to current school reasonable amounts but once children are or almost done we will give more substantially.  Schools will have to take our kids for themselves.  We do not want money to sway acceptances or treatment while they are there. [/quote]

At the same time, we are also "nobodies" whose DD got into two so-called "Big 3" at the PK level. We are not even "secretly" wealthy. We are quite blatantly two working parents who are employed b the govt and not for profit sectors. I doubt sincerely that the admissions officers were more concerned about us than about our DD.

Once your child meets certain criteria, it's all a game of numbers. There are simply too many applicants to fill the available slots. Period.
