<p>@boardingschoolx I admire the way you handled that!
</p>
<p>I love it. Rock on.</p>
<p>@SharingGift Thanks for the sites!
@stargirl3 
I’m always open to constructive criticism-- and I understand that I did mislead some people with the information I posted. Again, I’m sincerely sorry.
Thanks for being so understanding:)</p>
<p>Are you guys seriously disputing the veracity of a statistically INSIGNIFICANT difference in SAT scores? </p>
<p>@neatoburrito
I don’t think we were involved in this “dispute” because we were that concerned about the SAT scores per se… the problem here is that I misled people by posting inaccurate information. All of us here are just trying to make reliable and accurate information available to those who care about boarding schools’ SAT results. By doing so does not necessary mean WE believe that SAT scores determine a boarding school’s worth.</p>
<p>3 of my friends have got into Choate/Governor’s/NMH and 4-6 schools along the line with unbelievably low ssat scores and mediocre to low GPA scores, they also have been told they were the bottom 10 or so of the list and all are Asian. This is extremely out of what I have imagined as a admissions for a top tier BS.</p>
<p>EDIT: grammar</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Sorry, I call BS on the above. No one ever tells you that “you were the bottom 10.” It serves no purpose either for the teller of the fact or the recipient. Thus, it is not said. No one knows how or where they ended up in the selection process. Maybe, for example, you don’t know that "all are Asian . . . . . but their parents pledged a couple of million for the development fund. </p>

Maybe that’s the family that we watched the Admissions people fawn over when we were waiting and waiting and waiting. </p>
<p>@GMTplus7 Haha. My Deerfield interview was delayed half an hour for this precise reason (I’m presuming).</p>
<p>Sorry everyone, the kids you mentioned were the Chows. They attended LC but have already graduated. This was the Chinese family with two boys who paid an educational consultant $2million to help their boys gain admission to an Ivy school. They did not get into an Ivy but still a selective school so parents sued. I am only kidding and think it is sad that CNN published their last name. NY Times did not name family. I am sure with knowledge of last name any recent LC grad could identify them. </p>
<p>It’s not “sad” that the media published the last name of the Chow family; it’s public record. It’s automatically public record in the U S. whenever someone files a lawsuit.</p>
<p>Truly sickening that the father released as evidence of how he had been ripped off, all the invoices the consultant billed for cheating for him, i.e. hours & hours spent researching and writing papers. How brazenly shameless to openly acknowledge u paid someone to cheat for u, then complain publically via lawsuit that u didn’t get your money’s worth.</p>

<p>@GMTplus7 Wow, I did not know that the payment included writing papers for his two sons! I meant sad because it exposed what I thought were two innocent children. This adds to the whole story. Funny, how people do not realize that filing a lawsuit does put information you may not want in the public record. </p>

<p>@twinsmama … I have been lurking on CC for a while and your twins seem very similar to my dd. She was wait listed everywhere (although we only applied to 4 schools). She is still licking her wounds and we are still deciding on what to do for next year. Would love to PM you and swap stories.</p>
