[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think most of us here are "in the know" :lol: Harvard, Stanford, and Yale have global name recognition. Beyond that, the lay prestige varies considerably by region in the US and country abroad.[/quote] Lay prestige is a contradiction in terms. "Prestige" means where do the parents of kids at Dalton and Harvard-Westlake and Groton want their kids to go. It's not Duke and Cornell, and it's not Chicago or JHU. To be honest, it's not MIT or Caltech....[/quote] We have two kids at elite east coast boarding schools, and you don’t seem to understand where these kids want to go. MIT and Duke are highly desirable, and very difficult to get into. Georgetown, Cornell, and Chicago are not the first choice for most, but they’re known to accept a lot of kids from the two schools so they’re good options that are attainable for many. JHU and Caltech are seen as more niche, with low overall interest in Caltech.[/quote]
