Someone mentioned HYP and other top colleges having conference calls with guidance offices at Andover/Exeter. But actually, they have conferences like that with all schools, public or private, that have many applicants. They will also call the guidance office of a school they don’t know well, or have never had an applicant from; or sometimes just to ask a question about that particular kid.

So while someone from Andover or Exeter or whichever school it was proudly mentioned these conference calls to a group of parents, what he or she may or may not know is that these calls are not only for private schools, and are actually pretty common.
