介绍: Applying to a Selective School
Sam: I think our child should go to a public school. I did.
Yasmin: I went to a private prep school and I think it gave me a leg up in life.
Sam: I got where I am without a fancy prep school.
Yasmin: And that’s great, but I think we should give our daughter every
advantage we can.
Sam: What do you have in mind?
Yasmin: I have information here from a few of the most selective schools. Some
are parochial and some are secular. Some are day schools and some are
boarding schools.
Sam: I’m not sending my daughter to a boarding school and that’s final.
Yasmin: But some of the most exclusive schools are boarding schools.
Sam: I’m not budging on that. I want her coming home every day.
Yasmin: All right. Let’s look at the admission criteria for the remaining schools.
Wow, admission is really competitive. These have very low admission rates.
Sam: Really?
Yasmin: Really. They also require two aptitude tests in addition to transcripts,
letters of recommendation, and an interview.
Sam: Do we really want to put our daughter through that? And look at the tuition!
Yasmin: Is that for all four years?
Sam: No, for one year.
Yasmin: You’re kidding.
Sam: I’m not. Public school is sounding better and better, isn’t it?
