Anonymous wrote:All other things being equal, do privates consider qualities of the parents in admissions decisions? Obviously I realize that wealthy families who appear to be future major donors would have an edge but I'm thinking about things like, do the parents have interesting hobbies? Did the parents attend similar schools? Are the parents pleasant to be around? Are the parents involved in their community? Do schools care about that stuff or is it really all about the kid and his/her chances of succeeding and thriving at the school?


Of course they do! That's why there is a parent interview. Have you not heard of the "three T's": Time, Talents and Treasures? They want to know what you are going to give back! duh!
