[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP. Genuinely shocked by how toxic some of these posts are. That said I've spoken with several very credible college admissions consultants and they all share a view that there aren't any true feeder schools anymore. There are Tier 1 schools with known standards of rigor that the TTs fall into along with top boarding schools, SHS's and also (critically) topic suburban publics. It sounds like coming from a top school is a check the box rubric like hitting a certain SAT score. After that it's all about the applicant's relative ranking in their class and how differentiated their story is relative to the rest of the qualified applicant pool.

Would be really curious to see if that's been everyone else's experience or if these consultants are more talking their book with their services being the easy way for an applicant to be differentiated. [/quote]

My DS is a senior at a TT, and this rings true. Plus the kids are a lot more open-minded than the people in this forum about schools where they might flourish and enjoy the next four years of their educational journeys.[/quote]
