[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Chapin has a 34% ivy acceptance rate over for years which is also great…. That’s just scooting to ChatGPT so that is very unofficial. LOL[/quote]

Matriculation or acceptance? That percentage seems really high considering their performance in the last 2-3 years  [/quote]

Finally someone sane. I am blown away by the recent comments - choosing K based on Ivy acceptance stats? Focus on where your child will thrive as a person, become a good human, and be happy.  Academics are of course important but the majority of these schools will prepare your child academically. [/quote]

To be fair, the thread is about “best private schools in NYC based on college acceptances” (according to OP on the first page).

Some parents I know tend to go for local non-TT schools for elementary and make a switch to TT for middle or high school when academics becomes more important. I am currently thinking whether I should look into changing schools for DD. There are cons (separation with friends, longer commute) so I am wondering whether the additional academic rigor and extra workload are indeed worth it.

Perhaps, I can also ask a question - how many hours a day do TT kids spend on homework in middle and high school?[/quote]

It depends on the student/courseload, etc., of course, but I was doing somewhere between 3-5 hours a night at trinity during high school, as were most of my friends. It’s tough. My sibling, who is much smarter than me, got away with doing significantly less with similar results, though. But at most TT’s, you’re going to be doing a good 3+ hours a night if you want to be a good students. If you want to coast, you can get away with 1-2.[/quote]
