[quote=Anonymous][quote]Very useful advice for those also trying to get their children into high school at the IAC, independent private school and boarding school levels (the athletic hook in American private academia) ...it's all about sports! [/quote] Agree. And certain "sports" or "activities" like rowing/crew, sailing, squash, golf, tennis, swimming, water polo, lacrosse. These activities are generally not available in the SEC but are available in the IVY (LACs, MIT, U of C, Stanford, Cal Tech, Pomona, Carleton and the like) and enterprises with large endowments (endowment/student). Many parents of children attending DC area private schools are aware of this and spend a lot to cultivate this hook for their children. It becomes very important later when applying to colleges and universities.[/quote]
