[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]New England boarding schools have always been gatekeepers to the Ivies and other prestigious schools. The point of attending is to get a great education, which should theoretically get you into an elite university, and to make connections that will be fruitful later in life. My husband and I went to elite universities and as parents are now paying a ton of money for our kids to attend private school. Do my children necessarily need to go to Harvard or Dartmouth? No, but I’ll be disappointed if they go to a university that is vastly different from the type of schools where we went if they have a good academic record. I won’t think private was waste, but it would make me question if the cost of worth it. [/quote]

LOL what a crock.

I have had kids in Public with better admissions than "elite privates" in the NE.

I have also had two to to 1 boarding elite HS and one New England Elite private. Public wins every time.

You are wasting your money if you think one private in the DMV does better in college admissions.

So delusional and bitter. Take a look at the MoCo public school results here and compare those to the Big 5: https://bethesdamagazine.com/2024/09/17/where-do-moco-students-attend-college/[/quote]
