[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t want to say, because it was something someone said to me at a kid’s birthday party, but it was a decent non-Ivy school where they ended up, not a big name but fine. At my kids’ TT, a teacher told me to check where the richest parents in my daughter’s class went to school, and if my heart was set on one of those schools, to transfer. My kid was in second grade, and one particular college was never my goal in the first place, so I just smiled and nodded, but it is really common knowledge in these places that the college admissions office horse trades you according to both their and the college’s bottom line.[/quote]

Yes, we know your kid is/was at Brearley.  Your posts are easy to spot.[/quote]

It’s remarkable how easy it is to spot her tone and writing. [/quote]

And how many people seek her out to share the terrible secrets of private school college admissions . . . at kids' birthday parties just this afternoon, in her DD's second grade classroom . . . they really want her to spread the word![/quote]

I chuckled at the second grade teacher story.  I have kids at the school and know all those second grade teachers and just can't imagine any of them talking like this about the school (even if they thought it), or frankly even talking about college at all to a parent of a second grader.  What would even prompt something like that?[/quote]
