[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=sparky]I'm wondering how I can prepare my elementary school sister to Andover or Exeter. I was always stressed out due to the competition in a magnet high school, and I hope my sister has a better secondary school experience. I did get into Princeton, however, but I don't think fighting for the spot in a public school isn't worth it vs going to a private school where 20% of the population go to an Ivy. I want help send her off to the Lower School and then the Upper school if possible. I talked to my parents and they seem to be positive about the idea, as the district they are moving to next year isn't the best. How should I help my sister go about this?[/quote]

I call this a bad troll job.

1. Neither Andover nor Exeter have a lower school. They are high schools.

2. No older sister has this much influence over a younger sister's academic experience.

No American-born white older sister has this much influence over a younger sister's experience. You are forgetting that OP is an immigrant. Based on personal experience, I can 100% see parents looking to "the one that succeeded" to guide the younger one, given that they are in a new system themselves. [/quote]
