[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are 7 TT schools.

Then there are schools that many people would consider highly selective that aren't on that list - think Regis and St Anns - those are 2T.

In no world is Regis a 2T. That is one of the most selective schools in the country.[/quote]

If you keep repeating “There are 7 TT” enough maybe it will become true?

And you may be struck in UB times.

TT school definition is not equal to - say - Ivy League. It is a subjective classification used by parents familiar with the NYC private school scene. It may evolve over time. This thread illustrates that the line between 2T and 3T is already very blurry and that the statement “there are 7 TT schools” may also be up for debate.

Agree. These schools are all relatively small, so data is not very statistically significant. Particularly because the college process is not fully transparent and has a lot of variables. For colleges there is more history, more transparency about admissions stats, and many more kids so a few outliers don't impact things as much.

I would love to be a fly on the wall to understand how these schools manage their numbers, yields, waitlists, etc. Since their numbers are small, being off a few kids can really impact finances, but they also don't want to accidentally grossly over-enroll. Particularly for 9th grade entry, the number of kids they retain from 8 makes a big difference, though some schools by nature grow more for 9 than others.[/quote]
