[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This recent tome lost me at Prep being a “feeder school for the Ivies and the NESCAC schools. That requires a rather strange definition of what a “feeder school” is.

Instead Prep is more accurately a feeder school for a range of Catholic colleges, especially Jesuit schools. Every year a large group goes to Georgetown. Other schools that are perennial choices are BC, Notre Dame,  and Holy Cross. Also popular are other Jesuit colleges like Loyola (MD), St Joseph’s, Fairfield, Fordham, and some others.

Not only are there very frequently family connections to these schools, they are places where going to Prep has special weight in the college Admissions department.

A handful do go to the Ivies and they are frequently lacrosse or football players. Occasionally there are boys who go to NESCAC schools. If that makes Prep a “feeder school” to these schools, that to me is a new use of the term.

Why someone would take the time to write these long pieces filled with fundamentally incorrect information is a mystery.[/quote]

This was AI. It didn't take long at all. And, to your point (and the point of the PP, me), not to be trust.[/quote]
