[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Curious, most of these colleges require As for admission. Do all these kids have As at Dalton? Looks like it must be pretty easy to get As if all these kids are getting them. Grade inflation at Dalton appears to be out of control.[/quote]

These TT private schools are hard. They're no joke. A grind that a lot of parents don't want for their kids. Kids who enter in younger grades are often counseled out long before HS. You can apply to get in for MS and then again for HS. But truthfully, they don't take a kid for HS unless they're extraordinary (ie know they won't have issues placing them for college).

Not sure of numbers now, but acceptance rates into these top NYC privates are single digits. Hooked helps, that's true.  At privates.  Not true at Regis, Stuy, Hunter, etc.[/quote]

Admission is not harder at these privates than Stuy or hunter.

Dalton is kind of low end of top private in NYC.

The kids at Stuy and Hunter are smarter but poorer.[/quote]

Hunter college admissions has been atrocious the past few yrs. The kids I know who graduated are now at Indiana. Also, Spence. Filled with connected girls and massive grade inflation. You can retake tests until you get an A. 6 girls to Harvard this yr. Riverdale’s admissions are excellent, Fieldston much less so. [/quote]
