[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]STA sends about 20 percent of its class to Ivies, 20 percent to top ranked SLACS, and about 20 percent of its class to Chicago and Tulane.  [/quote]

True.

But that's not the goal of a Saint Albans' education - or its ultimate outcome.

The value of a Saint Albans education is you learn to work your ass off, develop a lot of self discipline and determination, organizational and time management skills. And let's not forget life long friendships.

In other words, 75% of Saint Albans students have effectively grown up- year after year- admiring each year's class of super star " big brothers".  This is the normal from age 10 until graduation at 18.

They take that forged steel with them wherever they go to college, Grad school and later in all their challenges in life.

Talking about whether X Ivy is " a top Ivy" or an easier Ivy or what SLAC is a higher grade admit and then reflecting that back on a school is really vacuous imho.

:roll: 
WOW PP  you learned a lot of big words at Saint Albans.  How about pretentious and condescending for two more?  "Forged Steel" Yuck. Your post made me cringe.  I send my kids to a "Big 3" also. Yes, I want them to get a great education and be prepared for life.
But I also want them get into a good college. Like now.

+1.  Clearly, PP is a frustrated, struggling screen writer. [/quote]
