[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]so raises an interesting question - put exmissions to the side for now -

do the TT teach better?  have better resources?  more opportunities?   versus 2/3 T schools

anyone have kids in several different tiers of schools and can they share thoughts on the question?[/quote]

We looked at a wide variety of schools for high school. Dalton seemed to have a lot of co-curricular opportunities that would probably help in college admissions. One of the students at their open house panel talked about a summer internship they got through Dalton in the NY courts. I believe they also have a science research program. Packer also had several of these unique co-curricular programs like a 3 year science research program, a journalism program and some sort of history research program where you go out and do research at the Brooklyn Historical Society and places like that.  I think these sorts of things help and other schools are following suit. We were told by both Friends and Xavier that they are starting a science research program next school year. Xavier also has an Asian Studies fellowship and a Holocaust Studies program.  CGPS and Regis also have some niche fellowship programs.  I’m sure these sorts of opportunities help pad the resumes and the opportunities may be more plentiful at the TTs.  I found that the TTs don’t necessarily advertise the co-curricular opportunities they offer very well, at least not on their websites.[/quote]
