[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]

WTF is a TT preschool?[/quote]

The more I think about it the more I believe that most of the people on this board are New York private school LARPers from overseas or recent immigrants with a very warped understanding of how life in the city works. The language is very ESL. [/quote]

It’s probably a troll. And TBH this ridiculous thread roundly deserves one. [/quote]
