[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think most parents are looking for more strategic counseling. The Sidwell counselors do not help much in terms of why school A might have better odds than school B or why ED might be advisable. In a tough market, kids need that strategic advice.[/quote] The reason they can't say that is that Sidwell, for all of it's Quaker values of hard work and humility, is placing many of its' students into top schools based on the kids family connections. They do not want to say, "Look Joseph, we think you are a pretty good candidate for Brown and if litttle Larla whose father/mother is uber connected to the administration were not applying we would say take a shot."[/quote]
