[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Once you get past the high donor alumni, the athletic recruits, and the high-achieving URMs, there are only so many measly spots available for T20 schools.  Don't blame the CCOs.  If you are not in any of the above three categories, know what you are paying for.  It is not college placement.  It is for a bespoke educational experience for a very privileged/fortunate few.  Your children have had x number of years of getting the best attention to all their educational and formative needs to be high-achieving young adults--no matter where they go to college.  I feel sorry for the CCOs and the school admins in general.  It has become a business, available to the highest bidder.  No institutional respect whatsoever from the parents.  When I went to boarding school, even the wealthiest parents (old money) had the good sense to let the admin handle things.  No one trusts anybody anymore.[/quote]

The second to last sentence is an interesting comment about boarding school parents. Inaccurate in my experience with a very elite boarding school. Seems as though you do not understand what was going on behind the scenes.[/quote]
