Waitlisted: SPS, Hotchkiss, Tabor, Taft
Rejected: Lawrenceville

<p>But this kind of thing happened with a few other of my friends, that they got waitlisted on every other school except for one. From what I have heard, this may be because the school admissions contact each other, and basically call dibs.</p>
<p>Kiwi, schools don’t do that. They can’t. It’s illegal. There are antitrust laws.</p>
<p>It’s a funny concept though…</p>
<p>Accepted: Andover, Hotchkiss, Choate

<p>Congratulations on your acceptance to Stevenson</p>
<p>Have you applied to Webb Schools in CA? If yes, you can log on to your account and find out now. They said they would release the result via online at 12:00 PM March 10. But somehow, it is already posted.</p>

Thank you so much!
I actually applied to the Webb in Tennessee :)</p>

<p>As tax-exempt entities, the schools understand that the antitrust rules aren’t a bar to that sort of activity. Look at the NCAA. However, even though there’s a legal green light, I can’t imagine how that happens in practice. Is the workload of the admissions counselors so light that they can review the applicants and then compare which ones are in common with their peer schools and then hold a pow-wow with their colleagues for the purpose of sorting out which schools get which applicants? This idea of institutional admissions collusion is more preposterous than claiming that there was a third- or fourth-shooter on the grassy knoll. It’s way too complicated for it to actually happen.</p>
<p>Not only do schools talk, if you can swing the change through the grapevine you can hire an “educational consultant.” Basically this guy is a burnout admissions officer who tells you how to write your essays and is way more of a hindrance than a help. That said, you will find out by March 6 all of your decisions on the dl.</p>
<p>There are such “educational consultants,” but how exactly do schools talk? They can’t go over all qualified applicants and say “you take him, I take her.”</p>
<p>My DD has a big decision to make. She was:</p>
<p>Admitted: Nobles, BB&N, Concord Academy, Dana Hall, and Rivers.
WL: Groton, PA, Middlessex (as day student)</p>
<p>What do you all think???</p>

<p>I heard that as well. It may be a prep school myth; it seems a bit outlandish for schools to commit the time to call dibs on a student. But maybe they are so committed to a student that they encourage the other schools to decline? IMO, this is taking it a bit too far…
With that said, congrats on your acceptance to Deerfield!</p>
