[quote=Anonymous]My DD went to Madeira a few years ago. I thought Madeira did a good job with college counseling and admissions. That said, they emphasize best fit rather than ranking. Some girls turned down higher ranked schools for the school they wanted. To me that was a plus compared to the hyper competitive school my other DC attended. Keep in mind that not only are there international students, but girls from other parts of the country. That also influences college choices. You also need to look at the program itself. For my DD Madeira was transformative in terms of confidence and intellectual curiosity. She and her close friends have been very successful in the early stages of their careers. I think my DD would not have thrived in a hyper competitive school. Other kids would be the opposite. [/quote]
