[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I worked in admissions for years, mostly at one that was grades 6-12 (not in this area but just as competitive and crazy) and the reality is when you have more qualified applicants than spots, you have the luxury of weeding out high drama families. OP should consider that fact carefully. [/quote] Thanks for this. The Admissions Office granting admission to the "high drama" families sentences the faculty and staff to four or more unpleasant years of dealing with them. The more insistent, entitled and engaged you are in the process, the higher the likelihood the Admissions people are going to identify you as someone that will be an on-going challenge for staff, faculty and coaches throughout your DC's tenure. These groups sometimes look back at the Admissions staff and say, "How could you do this to us?" and "Couldn't you see these people were going to be problems?"[/quote]
