poly prep has a really disingenuous practice of advertising open slots for all ls grades whether or not they actually have any available--this drives staff members who know about it crazy. positions are 1st guaranteed to siblings and kids of staff, which mostly--even with the larger space--leaves hardly any open spots. the yucky part is that the reason they advertise--and sometimes even tell people directly about--open space is because they are always hoping to get that really wealthy family who's going to donate, donate, donate. they even go as far as to schedule interviews with families for slots they never had available in the first place. i know other schools look for wealth, too, of course, but not like this...ick!
