<p>“If your school has never sent a kid to a specific college, the odds are against you.”</p>
<p>Yes, that’s right. Because colleges would rather just compose classes from the public high schools of Short Hills and Winnetka and Atherton and New Canaan, and if a kid comes to them from a hs they’ve never heard of, they’re not interested. But they want diversity @@ I don’t believe it for a MINUTE, honestly. All I have to do is look at where a lot of my kids’ classmates come from - it is VERY evident that they come from schools that would be “unfamiliar” to most adcoms.</p>
