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.

I am not affiliated with the schools, but have been doing my due diligence to see if it is worth it.

From what I see, TT schools are the private school version of specialized public schools. As the students moves up in grade, the academics ramps up and there is a heavy workload. The kids who thrive at this type of schools tend to be similiar to specialized public high schools in having both the aptitude and desire. The unfairness usually comes in the amount of resources that goes into developing a TT private school student as it takes a lot of resources to make a well rounded student (from tutoring, extracurricular activities, traveling/cultural events, sports, etc...).

Usually the trust fund kid who doesn't want the heavy workload and is fine with being admitted to a T20 university tends to be at the T2/T3 private school.
