[quote=Anonymous]A lot of unnecessary meanness in this thread.

We have one [incomplete] data set -- college outcomes, and most reasonable people would agree that it's a product of several variables -- student quality, school education quality, counselor quality, hooks, luck -- weighted in some unknown fashion and not entirely independent from each other.  The whole argument is about which variables carry more weight and how much.  In the absence of a clear breakdown of the one data set that we do have (by hooks, etc) this is completely impossible to determine.

And yet, when one school evidently outperforms others -- reputationally of similar caliber -- that's hard to simply waive away.

FWIW, our daughter was accepted to Brearley, really liked it on the revisit but in the end chose a co-ed school.  She is very strong academically, but we don't so much care about HYP as an outcome.  If we did, however, it would have probably been tempting to choose Brearley just b/c how well they are performing.[/quote]
