What Schools are Considered 2T?

[Anonymous]

if you have St Ann's and Regis as 2T, I agree GCS is 3T along with schools like Packer and Poly.

I get the feeling that 2T is the smallest tier.

Then there are schools that many people would consider highly selective that aren't on that list - think Regis and St Anns - those are 2T.

In no world is Regis a 2T. That is one of the most selective schools in the country.

If you keep repeating “There are 7 TT” enough maybe it will become true?

You must be new.

And you may be struck in UB times.

TT school definition is not equal to - say - Ivy League. It is a subjective classification used by parents familiar with the NYC private school scene. It may evolve over time. This thread illustrates that the line between 2T and 3T is already very blurry and that the statement “there are 7 TT schools” may also be up for debate.

Be our guest and argue there are more than 7, at least provide realistic additions like Riverdale or St Ann’s, and stop repeating Regis or Trevor or Grace to the end of times. They aren’t TT.

No one has argued Grace and Trevor are TT. I have not seen that anywhere. More that they are 2T and not 3T. Though one person here thinks Trevor is 8T because they have a childish vendetta against the school and like hijacking threads.

One can make a compelling argument for Regis as TT but I think it is generally accepted as 2T.

Regis is 2T. It has very niche appeal that works for some. It’s like comparing TT and Stuy, they’re completely different and you can make a case for either but shouldn’t be lumped together.

I tend to agree and I think that most people here agree as well. I think they are just saying there is an asterisk as there are likely plenty of kids turning down TT's for Regis (with cost factoring into that). To your point, same for Stuy and Bronx Science, but like you said, they also don't get lumped in.

Regis is not an apples to apples comparison to any other school. You can't even sit for the test if you're not baptized Catholic. It's in a category of its own and not worth arguing over what tier it's in.

you can't apply to Collegiate unless you're a boy. most dont apply to any of these unless they have some money - we're not putting Stuy or Hunter in here. But anyway, the TT list was set a long time ago. Regis is 2T

Regis is one of the premier high schools in the country. It’s ridiculous to say it’s anything but a top tier institution. Clearly these categories are about money and not institutional quality. Someone said that Nighingale and CSH were the only undisputed 2Ts. This sort of proves my point. They are both old money schools.

+ 1. Why do some moms think they’re Jeff? They aren’t moderators. There’s the endless Brearley stuff: a woman constantly posts “do I have to report you again?” just because another doesn’t like the school. It’s so obnoxious, the tattletale nastiness. If you’re thrilled about where your children attend, you would never attack in response.

Regis (I don’t have boys, I know a few graduates, and I know an incoming freshman) is an excellent school. If you’re looking at non-zoned public options in the city, you’ll have questions about it! Where it slots in relation to other schools is a normal inquiry FGS.

Any list that mentions Saint Ann’s should be required to mention the crimes of Winston Nguyen.

This, too.

Times change. Schools that some of you say ewwwww to as if you’re 8 and not 58, have very low acceptance rates. Getting in and doing well at most schools discussed here requires diligence and creativity and all that good stuff. I get the sense that a lot of mothers in particular take this branding to heart, and personalize what shouldn’t be. Why?

Some of you need to take the stories of student self-harm and tragedies at Brearley, Chapin, and Regis more to heart and ask what the hell you are reinforcing in terms of competition. Discussion of same should not be verboten.

Could happen at almost any of these schools.

Not me. Early in the day for your not actually satirical wine mom shit.

We can’t mix K entry vs G9 entry. For example, Grace Church has a lot of kids leaving after G8, so their HS entry is much easier. For K, it’s less than 10% acceptance rate.

I agree about the OG TT 7.

If you want to rank high schools more generally, you should include public, like USNews. Excluding public makes zero sense, and is even more stuck in the olden days.

But if you want to use the phrase "top tier" or tiers, yeah, the TT is set.

I personally dont see the appeal of some of the TTs and wouldn't send my kids to HM no matter what - and would def send them to Regis (if I was a catholic) or St Ann's before it and a couple others - it's not really about "what's best this year".

If you want to do a ranking of schools ala USNews, you should do that. Include all high schools in the city.

[Anonymous]

Long ago, the rumor was schools took in 9 th graders with stats that would likely to improve the college acceptance list. True or False?
