[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I truly do mean this sincerely and hope I get serious answers to my question but I fear I will get much snark but will ask anyway.

What is the story behind kids going to Mercersberg Academy but then only going to Penn State - Altoona, Penn State - Erie or even West Chester U. for college?

These kids received a wonderful education from Mercersberg. I assume they also have good college counselors to walk them through the process.

You could say the kids had to pick those colleges for financial reasons, but after receiving a Mercersberg education and having their college counselors guide them through the process, couldn't the counselors have guided them to schools that would have given them good merit aid?

It just feels like their opportunities at Mercersburg (educational opportunities, college counseling, all the benefits of a small private school) were wasted when it comes to college selection.[/quote]

I’m sure there are varying reasons but one that is certain is athletics. My daughter is an athlete at a NE boarding school
And if it were entirely up to her she would go to any school at all to compete in division 1 in college. While we aren’t on board with that, there are parents at her school that 100% are. [/quote]
