[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it's supposed to be a prestige ranking but the problem is the prestige is only based on a few urban moms.  It's not based on objective criterias.  For academics, I'd look at the average SAT scores to see if a particular school is solid.  Then look at college eximission to see if it's a match to DC's goal.  Whether or not it's prestigeous on dcum is irrelevant.  [/quote]

Average SATs largely line up with prestige for private schools.  You will not find numerous examples of the two diverging.  These are some of the smartest, most competitive parents on earth (for better and often for worse).  They are doing their due diligence.[/quote]

This is also not true—I just looked up the sat scores for a few of these schools.  Some of them are in 1300 range, including CSH.  I don’t have time otherwise I would do a SAT score ranking for these schools.[/quote]

The consensus doesn’t consider CSH TT and it never has, with most saying it is 2T/3T. As others here have noted, it’s pretty weak but a good experience. If you were to say Dalton has 1300 range, then yes the prestige-score divergence would be real. [/quote]

The PP wasn't talking about TT only.  The alleged "admissions advisor" was ranking 30-40 schools based on her personal prestige rating.  She also asserts that her own prestige ratings for these 30-40 schools align well with objective metrics so there is no need to rely on objective metrics.  [/quote]

That CSH poster was implying CSH has such a good reputation that it should have higher SAT scores, my point is that its rep isn’t that great and is inline with its scores. CSH was ranked pretty fairly based on scores tbh

Ranking 30-40 schools isn’t that ridiculous when USNews ranks thousands, and those 30-40 have way more variance than the top 40 colleges [/quote]

Ok, I don't know who is who now.  Are you the admission advisor?  
Ranking 30-40 schools based on objective metrics isn't ridiculous at all.  Ranking them by her own prestige rating is another story.[/quote]

I am not the advisor. I’d be skeptical of anyone anonymously saying they are an advisor. I don’t think it’s ridiculous for one to rank the schools based on what they’ve seen in terms of competitiveness and deep knowledge of the schools. If rankings were only based on student teacher ratios and SATs then we’d have no need for a discussion. And sure, there is some subjectivity. But anyone who puts Trevor at 35 or at 10 created a bogus list and should be ignored. [/quote]
Ok.  I am not the trevor poster.  
[/quote]

I don’t think they’ve posted in awhile. They sure made an impact and made people think the school way more than it deserves [/quote]
