[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does it matter? if your DC is top 10% at CSH or Marymount, vs. top 70% at Brearley?  TTs like Brearley is impossible to get into.  You probably have a pretty good idea whether the kid is going to perform well at either tier of schools by the age of 10 or 12.  [/quote]
Half or more of the ivy admits at these schools are hooked.  10% CSH or Marymount doesn't mean top 10% all go to an ivy.  Probably means only 3 or 5 unhooked kids from CSH or Marymount are accepted into ivies each year.[/quote]

are you saying more than half of us with kids at a TT are hooked?

don't think so.[/quote]
Definitely not.

But half of ivy admits at the TT are hooked: donor, legacy, low income, first gen, athlete, connection, faculty. [/quote]

at TT i’d bet one of the parents of more than half the kids is an ivy+ alum[/quote]

The number has to be higher. My child EC have over 80%. The ones who don’t tend to be new money families. You have to come from an old money family and have multiple generation of Ivy+ alum to distinguish yourself. [/quote]

Your child EC?  What's EC?[/quote]

Extracurricular activities - my child is in preschool. They attend TT preschools. A few are already admitted to HM.[/quote]

Oh dear . . . please don't worry about college prospects now, even when considering where to send your child to kindergarten. Focus on fit and where your child and family will feel comfortable and a valued part of the school community, and stay away from threads like these that are full of anxious parents of older children who want to believe that there is some magic formula (discoverable through IG posts, no less that will land their child in the college of their dreams.
