You won't find a cluster of more than 2, 3 kids for a same school.  They are steered to a WIDE range of ivy league and plus and top lac schools.
[b]No rat race, everyone finds somewhere they are happy. [/b]
Well done![/quote]
I guarantee you that many of these kid admitted to places like Colby, Tufts, or Wesleyan had Ivy ambitions which [b]were shot down by their college counseling office [/b]and they were encouraged to aim lower. Most of the kids are [b]not happy with their outcomes[/b], and many kids feel like they would've had better odds applying from their local public school because the pool is much less competitive. Instead of competing against 50 driven Exonians, they might be competing against 4 kids that aren't that impressive. [/quote]
How do you know they are not happy?  If they ED Colby, they are at least marginally happy enough to do that.

How do they "shoot down" these kids?  No one can force you applying or not applying a certain school.  [/quote]
