If your kid is actually smart, you wouldn't need TT schools to get in a good college.  Yes, mediocre kids are sent here to pretend there is "rigor".  What a joke.[/quote]

What?  Do you know how selective Trinity or Dalton is?  The average IQ there is probably over 160.  Not joke.[/quote]

I can't imagine every sibling or legacy child has a high IQ... Trinity, Brearley, Spence, etc, classes seem to be at least 80% sib/legacy. At least Dalton seems more even-keeled...[/quote]

This is BS. “Seem to be at least 80%”?! Seem how?? I have kids at one of those schools. Sibs + legacies are around 25-30% per grade. And my youngest child is just as strong, if not stronger than his older siblings.

I don’t know about IQ of over 160, but the kids in these schools are very intelligent, naturally curious and hard working. The school is not shy about counseling out underperfomers even if they happen to be sibs, legacy or very rich. [/quote]
