[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Actually, I don't think anyone on the other thread ever said that every kid has an equal chance of admission or that only 1-2 families pull strings or use their wealth. It was just stated that there are some kids who don't have top (95%+) scores and don't have connections that get in. I happen to know several of them. They didn't necessarily get into every school they applied to or even their top choices, but they got into well-respected schools. I'm sure the process is easier and less stressful for those with 99% WPPSI or SSAT scores and friends on the board of their 1st choice school, but to say that a non-connected kid who is only in the 80th percentile doesn't stand a chance at getting in anywhere is flat wrong. [/quote] Actually, on a recent thread, someone actually did say that only a few families per class got in through connections or wealth.[/quote]
