[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]TT is a set of schools. It's set. You can't change it. It's like the Ivy League. You can argue here are others that are better, that's fine. There are better schools than Dartmouth, for sure. But the TT are the TT. [/quote]

This would be the "bragging rights and social standing" version. Which is fine - certainly the reason a lot of people send their kids to Trinity is because they want to be able to tell other people their kid goes to Trinity, and as long as the kid gets a good education and most of the effort to get them in was on the parents' part rather than the kid's (as is certainly the case for K and honestly even for 6th/9th), have at it; there's no more need to apologize for it than there is to apologize for owning a park-view penthouse or a Mercedes S-Class.

The difference is that while a degree from Dartmouth is probably still going to be more useful than one from, say, Northwestern in landing you a job in some industries on account of that Ivy League prestige, it's not as clear if the college admissions boost from Trinity versus Trevor Day or whatever is meaningful for any given kid.[/quote]
