[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Spence and Chapin are near identical in academic offerings.  Sacred Heart is also great!

Brearley is really the one that is a step above.  [/quote]

Did you see the Spence college admissions account above? I don't think it's possible for a school to get better than that...[/quote]

I think most of these kids have big connections.  Seems like the students who get in to ivy from TT private are the connected ones [/quote]

Majority have connections.

The small number admitted at 9th grade do not matriculate at ivies[/quote]

Why do people believe this? Why is it that everyone who says things has no affiliation with these schools?

I’m not trying to be argumentative, but this is such nonsense. All it does is undermine the quality of the education and the abilities and talents of ambitious and hard-working kids. Stop doing this. We just did well at school and pursued the things we loved uncynically.

Dalton Ivy+ matriculation for ‘24 (i’m not going to post the page since it’s minors in a lot of cases and it’s weird making that public):

Yale: 5
Penn: 1
Harvard: 7
Brown: 5
Columbia: 2
Princeton: 6
MIT: 2
UChi: 5
Cornell: 4
Stanford: 2
Dartmouth: 1[/quote]

Dalton is a strong school.  Their matriculation data “benefits” significantly from parents status of donors and legacy.  The key is to apply ED to donee or legacy ivies[/quote]

Brother and sister went to dalton. Brother’s kid starting dalton next year. There are legacy kids - obviously my nephew is one. The VAST majority are not. Do you have kids/go there? [/quote]

Reading comprehensive?

PP was talking about legacy status of ivies, not legacy of Dalton.

My kid didn't go to Dalton, but another TT.  Yes, there are donors (to ivies) who help kids to get in ivies.  Legacy kids are everywhere.  [/quote]

Yes, I understand that. My point is I don’t believe they have any affiliation with dalton, and they don’t know what they’re talking about. You don’t have to go ad hominem. I posted about this before - it’s really annoying when people constantly make such silly assumptions. [/quote]
