[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] *one last ps: my parents saved the acceptance letters my brother and sister got from dalton because of how beautiful and personal they were. My point is going to Dalton or Trinity or Horace Mann or Spence/brearley, whatever - it’s not solely about getting into a good college. It’s about getting the best possible education with the most opportunities in the most supportive environment. It’s borderline insulting to say things like, ‘Oh look! Some URMs got into ivies, too.’ What are you even talking about?[/quote] The people who spend a lot of time agonizing over a ranking of most prestigious schools are strivers with ulterior motives. Many of them with dreams of networking with families of higher socioeconomic status. The school experience can be like an onion with many layers to it. It been widely documented how upper-middle class families are at a disadvantage when it comes to admission and receiving financial aid, therefore, it is a more calculative decision. [/quote]
