[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not necessarily true. For example, if you look at Field’s college matriculation list, it’s actually pretty good. Not pretending that it’s at parity with STA or GDS, but the top 15-20% of kids end up at top tier schools. When you consider that they likely did 20% of the work of STA kids, it’s a pretty significant life hack if the end game is to get into as good a school as possible without being crushed in a pressure cooker.[/quote]

Curious about this so I actually looked:  https://www.fieldschool.org/academics/college-counseling

This is an impressive and varied matriculation list for 2021 and clearly reflects that Field graduates a class with diverse goals (ie, Oberlin <-> Rochester Tech).  Lots of excellent schools on this list.

However .... 15=20% of this list is not comprised of "top tier" schools as that tier is conventionally understood.  That's a misleading statement.  Sidwell, GDS and the Cathedral schools actually do graduate a class year after year with 20% matriculating to top tier schools.  They do, however, probably graduate more jocks than Field that will attend top tier schools on basketball, football, crew and possibly lacrosse admits. Field hockey for NCS, track/cross country for GDS
