That lst for Bullis is very impressive. My kid went to Holton + then HYP. But, she was accepted to Bullis + we found the people to be quite nice. For posters trying to explain this list away with - "oh it's athletic recruits, URMs, legacies"-- I have a newsflash for you-- that is largely the case at your beloved " big3" or whatever. Colleges, including the Ivies do not just want the top grades/test scores, ECs-- they want more than that .

OP for you, since you have 3 kids - St. Johns should be fine. Bullis times three is big bucks.

Good luck with whatever you decide![/quote]

Double ivy grad here.

Ivy league admissions are largely not meritocratic and there are lots of people who attend who were not capable of getting top grades or test scores and many capable people who attend other types of schools.  We need to stop using “# of ivy” as a yardstick for anything.

Anyways give me an MIT engineer over a Columbia student majoring in trust fund protesting any day of the week.[/quote]
