Sour grape.

Look at Dalton's matriculation this year.  Jealous much?

Did you really attend Trinity school? You give the appearance of someone circulating a list found online for credentials.

If you did any research on the link you provided you would quickly realize how it invalidated your previous arguments.

I didn’t post that, but it’s Dalton, not trinity. And out of curiousity, what are you researching wrt that page? That it’s fake? Because it’s a page Dalton puts together for each class. Lots of schools do it. But maybe i’m missing something?

*I agree that it shouldn’t be posted, btw. I hope the mods take it down. [/quote]

I am not saying it fake. I am saying if you google the names, the parents are famous enough to appear. You will see many are children of senior executives. Another poster mentioned about the difference between tt private and SHS in terms of background and access to resources.

The list has been circulated at whybemom, so sharing it doesn’t imply association with the school. [/quote]

Which names?[/quote]

for Dalton - if you google the last names of the ones who got admitted to HYP, almost all are very connected / wealthy / donors[/quote]

What are you implying?  If one is not a big donor, the kid stands no chance to HYP?[/quote]

This is true from any HS these days, not just Dalton or other top tier NYC private.   Donor, diversity, recruited for some specialty (athlete, etc), strong connections,  otherwise it’s nearly impossible and you need an insanely strong resume. The advantage of the top tier schools is that they give you the resources to actually build that “insanely strong resume” if you are willing/able, sets you up better for the next level down of colleges, and sets you up better to succeed wherever you do actually end up.  And the latter is ultimately what actually matters, not “college matriculation” itself as some on this board would suggest.[/quote]
