[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This probably depends on what field the [unhooked] kids are going into.  Brearley is still very strong in the humanities, and a graduate is  guaranteed to have a level of verbal polish (and almost guaranteed to have a liberal lean).  Theater is mandatory for a reason.  And for STEM fields, girls with high level of aptitude are desirable, so 1 or 2 top math girls have reasonably good prospects (similarly to other top privates and publics).  At least that's my rough extrapolation from the few happy outcomes I am familiar with.[/quote]

Almost the entire grade is filled with happy outcomes, unless you mean happy outcomes only with respect to HYP.  Then it's only about 20% of the class that has happy outcomes in that narrow sense.[/quote]

The conversation is about HYP and some posters delusion that B is a genius factory, so much so that it leaves other TTs in the dust. Occam’s razor says some of them are super rich and can buy spots [/quote]

I haven't seen anyone say Brearley leaves other TTs in the dust.  If you can point out those posts I would be interested to read them.  I've only seen posters say TTs dwarf non-TTs in college successes, and then some poster (maybe you?) say it was all due to rich parents or squash.  I've gone through the thread and the only post I seeing comparing Brearley to another school specifically was one saying Brearley and Spence outcomes blow Riverdale out of the water.  Because Riverdale is not a TT, I don't think that supports your assertion either.[/quote]
Not PP, but as long as we are only going by HYPS acceptances from the instagram pages, Brearley *is* seemingly much more impressive than HM/Trinity, which in turn are much closer to e.g. Fieldston/Riverdale.[/quote]

OMG. Stop with this nonsense. It's no way to rate schools or make choices about your child's education.

Any of these schools will provide your children with fantastic experiences if the fit works for them. And there are many colleges beyond the [b]four[/b] you've decided "we" should only be considering when measuring "college successes." [/quote]
