Philadelphia--I was at the top of my class (#2) and was waitlisted at Columbia and accepted at U of Penn; the number #1 kid went to Harvard.  [/quote]

Oops forgot about Philly...  I should have said the East Coast from Boston to DC.  It's tougher to get into an Ivy simply b/c it's so competitive.  I got into an Ivy and I was #5 but I'm from the midatlantic not Chicago.  The #1 from my class went to Stanford.  (Funny, how we remember...  so long ago).

I don't know why people are bashing Latin for focusing on small liberal arts colleges.  DH was rejected at both Amherst and Williams but got into several Ivies from the Southwest, #2 overall in his class but #1 SAT scores.   Generally, people who get accepted at Amherst, Williams, etc. who are not legacies would be accepted at an IVY or equivalent.  Latin's focus is on liberal arts not STEM, no?

I was an immigrant Asian kid who learned English after immigrating here at an young age.  Don't particularly care about having native speakers for my kid at YY.  I spoke English almost exclusively after 2 yrs except to my parents and certainly had no interest in speaking my native language to other kids including ones like me who spoke my native language.  My parents certainly would not have sent me to a school like YY since they wanted me to learn and speak English.[/quote]
