[quote=Anonymous]The most important thing to know coming from a top private is that the competition from her grade may be very strong alongside increasing world wide competition for top schools. It's seldom going to be "fair" and a school may appear to take one type of kid one year in favor of another then flip it for the next year. Timing can be everything. Some of these schools only take about 10% of the available slots based on pure academic profile. And you're never going to really know the landscape in terms of hooks. Do not let your kid fall in love and use the early application process as wisely as you can. Finally, these kids tend to end up very happy and doing well wherever they land, sometimes even more so when it's somewhere not on the original plan. Enjoy the next 4 years. It's going to go really fast. [/quote]
