[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Uh, topic is academics. Not college admissions. Start up a new thread. [/quote]

If kids are being admitted to T20 from all these schools, academics don’t matter to the degree you think they do. APs are no longer a thing. Smart kids will do well no matter where they go. Please tell what you’re using to measure “academics”[/quote]

Why would you use college admission to measure academic excellence of a high school? Are you suggesting that a kid who choses a full scholarship to a lower ranked school got a worse education in high shcool than the lacrosse player who was an Ivy legacy and went to Princeton? You have no idea what kinds of decisions kids are making about college. If you think all kids choose to attend the "best ranked" college they got into, you are making a poor assumption. And if you are coupling that mistake with a judgment about the high school education received, then you are not thinking clearly. A kid who chose a scholarship to niche college that suits him best over Dad's Ivy is the same kid and got the same high school education. [/quote]
