[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread is just starting to sound like a lot of whining from folks who feel their children deserve a spot an an elite school and resent everyone else who they perceive as having it easier.  Get a grip.  If your DC is an academic high flyer, they will do fine wherever they go to school.  Focus on supporting your child to reach their goals in life, not trying to get someone else to validate your worth.

Your assumption that the people you are whining about don't have kids who got into elite schools is incorrect, at least in my case. This is just a discussion about college admissions and how they work. Nobody is expressing resentment. If your kid is hooked, good for them. That's great. Other people don't necessarily resent them, but they do want to know what the odds are in ED/EA vs RD for their unhooked kids, and it's a bit confusing if you are new to the game.[/quote]

So then what is the GDS secret sauce for its Ivy League admissions record?  If it that many of the students have legacy hooks or do kids just outperform the  general applicant pool from other independent schools?[/quote]

They have an extremely good and well connected college counselling office. [/quote]

And a good PR team who really know their way around social media.  :wink: [/quote]

It's hard to argue with success.[/quote]

Agreed...they read every post and respond accordingly![/quote]
