[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]my unhooked kids did great coming out of a top private hs in nyc.  if you were in the top half of the class (which wasn't easy), schools like BC or Middlebury and Hamilton and GW were safeties. All gravy from there.

The process was only really hard for parents who wouldnt be happy with that. [/quote]

No one seriously thinks those schools are safeties!  Come on, PP.  [/quote]

They are for the top kids at an elite NYC school. At the best privates in New York, 40% go to Ivies + Stanford and MIT every year. UVA, Michigan, Georgetown are safeties at these schools for the top half of the class. [/quote]

Which NYC private send 40% to ivy+ every year?

Trinity doesn't, Dalton doesn't, Horace Mann doesn't.

Collegiate might but their graduating class is like 50 students.

Maybe if you added SLAC but even then, I doubt it.[/quote]

NYC boy parent so don't quote me on this as I don't know a ton about girls schools, but I have heard that Nightingale has been really strong lately.

Horace Mann sent a small heard to Chicago a year or two ago. Not Ivy+ but still impressive. I was amazed Chicago would take so many kids from one school.

Though one could argue if you took the alma maters of the parents at these schools, the students are actually almost underperforming - i'm guessing 40+% of parents at many of these schools went to Ivy+. Many kids are ending up at great schools but worse than where their parents went.[/quote]

I know someone in that Horace Mann class at Chicago. I think it was something like 20-21 seniors that year going to Chicago alone. In a class of about 2,000 freshman at Chicago, that represents 1% of the Chicago class from Horace Mann! [/quote]
