[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m assuming you don’t mean schools like Andover, Choate Rosemary Hall, Exeter, Lawrenceville, et al? Brilliant, wealthy kids go there to get into Harvard, Yale and Princeton. [/quote] My daughter's friend and her sister went to Exeter. Her parents were middle income that just pushed education. They did well in private school and were offered acceptance in 9th grade. The thing is that those boarding schools are not that expensive. Considering they cover all of their food, room and board on top of education, extracurriculars, and sports. It is MUCH cheaper than going to Sidwell, GT Day, and paying for transportation, their food, their extracurriculars, etc... Trust me That said, this sweet girl went on to do A LOT of dugs at Exeter. I mean a lot. Shocking. She kinda turned it around her junior year and did better. Went to Wash U. I guess it depends on the kid [/quote]
