[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The very top boarding schools are in the Group of 8/Eight Schools Association. It’s the Ivy League of boarding schools: Andover, Exeter, NMH, Choate, Hotchkiss, Lawrenceville, Deerfield, and St Paul’s. I attended one of them and applied to all but NMH and St Paul’s. My experience is 20 years old at this point, but I loved it [/quote]

I don’t disagree with this, but it is an incomplete picture. If these 8 are Ivy equivalents, you still need to capture the other equivalents: 
Williams=Groton
Stanford=Thacher
Duke=St.Andrew’s
I can’t think of an MIT? Maybe PISMS? 
Chicago?

There are so many great schools. The headliner schools will have a lot of competition. There is a strategy to dropping down just one ranking notch. The same amazing teachers are at those schools as well. Warm communities.

And the best info on boarding schools is always on College Confidential in the Prep Schools section. Very active group. Does not have the snark you get on DCUM. Very helpful/savvy crowd. [/quote]
