[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I've posted this on here before but I swear during my kid's interview year that all the super attractive kids were admitted. I'm thinking of my kid's friend group of a dozen kids--the few that made it were the conventionally attractive ones.

Please do not start this again. It is really disgusting and totally undermines the kids who did get in. So sick of hearing this crap.[/quote]

DP. I wonder what you think the kids who were waitlisted with high numbers should think. Because Walls only went about 70 kids into the waitlist last year, but they took the time to rank all 211 of the students on the waitlist, so that the kids at the very very end would know with great precision exactly how insufficient they were. Speaking of undermining children.

The fact is, Walls runs an extremely faulty admissions process over a strong applicant pool, with results that do not say very much, one way or the other, about the kids who are accepted or rejected. I don’t think your kid was admitted because they’re pretty, but I do think that if your kid is deriving their sense of self-worth from having been admitted to Walls, you should help them find some more reliable sources of validation.[/quote]
