A Private School Parents Must Read: Why Private School Isn’t Enough
If your child goes to an elite private school, chances are they’re surrounded by some of the most ambitious students in the country. When classmates are pulling 4.0 GPAs, 1500+ SAT scores, and stacking their résumés with impressive activities, standing out is harder than ever. So what do you do? This guide reveals the strategies Crimson’s private school families use to rise above the crowd and secure spots at the nation’s top universities.
What’s Inside:
- How admissions officers compare students from the same school — and why so many “perfect” profiles still get rejected.
- Summer programs that matter. Which ones actually impress admissions officers and which are a waste of time?
- AI in admissions. Why students should avoid it in essays, how colleges use it themselves, and what “authenticity” mean.
- The shifting landscape. Legacy in decline, affirmative action gone, testing back, and more families turning to private counselors.
- Decisions that matter. EA vs. ED vs. Regular — and how to use hidden back doors like UChicago’s SSEN round to gain an edge.
