I also wonder if being a day student makes it tougher? I know that was the case at Milton, not sure if it is at Choate as well. My kid has been waitlisted at Choate and I spoke at length with coaches and AO. Day students have lowest priority and they over enrolled day students last year. Coaches this year did not have as much influence as previous years. If you needed financial aid as a day student it was very hard to get in.
Hope this helps. Yeah I agree with Nico. They literally go through a thousand applications and probably spend minutes on each one so it could just be that the AO had a bad day. Also: these schools are dying for URMs, athletes and other various special populations to make up their classes for both optics and diversity of student body.
Far fewer qualified applicants in some of those pools. Then, the athletic machine has a voracious appetite. More and more its about diversity and trying to ensure a diverse group of students will make use of given opportunities and a community where each student has something very unique to offer.
What confuses me the most is that allenz is a star athlete and has a strong, well rounded resume. What else do those AOs want? Asians have a higher bar. Additionally, they may feel they already have several like him. To take this paradigm to the next level, when my dear student Choate applied ED to Amherst, she was denied.
Yeah, that is an unfortunate norm. Are they pickier to kids with near perfect stats? Have to point out that kids with similar, perfect stats are very different persons. If there is only a small pool of slots for these kids, that is a waste for the society. There are gifted magnet schools and there are elite boarding schools.
They serve different purpose to the society. The same will happen when he applies to colleges, where top tech schools and IVY schools will have different purposes and apply different criteria.
She was a regular teenager, but still it seemed she believed she was exceptional. As in, an exception to the rules. She had a cell phone at a time when only movie stars had cell phones. And she had a car on campus, something literally no other student had. She and her parents had apparently argued that it was necessary for her to have the car because in addition to being a student at Choate, Ivanka also had a modeling career.
Sometimes she would argue with her dad on the cell phone. He wanted her to go to Wharton, as he did. She wanted to go to Georgetown to be with her boyfriend. Also — in what was surely a source of soul crushing embarrassment to teenage Ivanka — her father showed up to graduation in limo, greeting other students and parents as if any of them actually cared that he was Donald Trump, which meant something very different than what it does now.
He has his arms protectively on her shoulders as they both look off in the same direction. And she made other concessions to her modeling career and her exceptionalism. Once after a holiday break, she returned to campus with a bruised and swollen face.
For a week she wore her hair covering her face and told everyone she'd had her wisdom teeth removed. Although the room seems no different than that of any American teenage girl at the time, one can glean some insights into future Ivanka. Ivanka's image, much like a magazine spread, is perfectly curated. Of the 12 former faculty members identified, three are dead. The New York Times tried to contact the remaining nine on Thursday evening, but none responded.
The report said that no current faculty members were implicated in abuse, and that investigators had received no reports of episodes relating to current students. For years, the school kept allegations of sexual misconduct from getting out, according to the report. Cheyenne Montgomery graduated from Choate in , and as a student there, she said she was abused by two teachers.
In a telephone interview, Ms. Montgomery described herself as an unusual Choate student because she had very little money. The Times does not usually identify victims of sexual assault by name, but Ms. Montgomery wanted to share her story publicly. Angus Mairs, a math teacher, encouraged students to come to him for extra help, she recounted, and during her sophomore year, he suggested that she visit him to study.
And it became physical. During Ms. Shortly after she graduated, Choate learned that the two had an inappropriate relationship, though the report says administrators were unaware that the relationship was sexual.
