[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is a remarkably high level of hooked kids at these schools ($$$ development, double legacy, recruited athletes, B of D relationships). Standard strong with no APs from a prep school that has already filled several slots at a T25 with hooked kids is a tough place to be, especially if that student would have been top 2-3% with 5s in 10 APs at their excellent local public. We decided to send our child anyhow (not to Andover, but to a peer school) because of the overall experience and education. It has been fantastic so far, absolutely worth it, and we are creating a realistic college list with a few gems and also some top overseas universities. Most people go in with eyes wide open. [/quote] No, that is not tough. You yourself admit that your unhooked kid is fine. [/quote]
