[quote=Anonymous][quote]From my family’s personal experience - it the school kids from top boarding schools go to when no one else will accept them. This is true both academically and athletically.[/quote]

Your personal experience contrasts with the several experiences of kids and adults (including my neighbor) I know who attended Hamilton. The people I know went on to do investment banking in NY (the head of Goldman is a Hamilton grad, as are a large handful of senior executives at Deutsche Bank and both firms hire out of Ham), attend med or law school, or work in media. Every one of these people is smart, though some more intellectually curious than others. I personally know two kids from one of the coveted private schools discussed in DCUM who applied ED and were not accepted - so no, it’s not where kids from boarding schools go when they can’t go elsewhere.

Athletically, one of (or the?) top female runner in the NESCAC last year was a Hamilton student. The hockey/crew/soccer/basketball teams have all been at or near the top of the NESCAC at one time or another in recent years.

It’s not the right school for all kids, but your statement is just wrong.
