Because it's hard to understand. Sorry to be dense, but I don't think the answers mean much unless we're all answering the same question.


Could you clarify:

(1) Your top three that your kid is applying to this year/has applied to in the past

or

(2) The top three schools overall in the area, after taking into account all possible measures, such as difficulty of entrance, academics, facilities, atmosphere, values and all those other intangibles

or

(3) The top three in terms of being hard to get into

or

(4 to infinity) The top three for academics, or for exmissions, or for sports teams, or for elementary, or for middle/high school, or for whatever else I want to define it to be.

OP to 13:23 poster. You are overthinking this. If you could send your child anywhere, what are your top 3 choices? Based on what you've learned about all the schools in the region?
