[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Brearley having another banger year. [/quote]

How are the completely unconnected kids doing[/quote]
Right.  One reason why MIT matriculation seems salient is that they do not consider legacy in admissions.  So 25 girls to Harvard over 5 years is difficult to read in terms of the unconnected success indication, whereas only one (1) MIT matriculation (and also only 1 to Caltech, another legacy blind, though much smaller, school) gives you pause, at least if you have a STEM-oriented kid -- which we do.[/quote]

I can’t speak for students at these schools as I’ve never attended. But if a student loves the liberal arts focused curriculum at a place like Brearley, Trinity or Collegiate, a place like MIT would not be as appealing. Saying this as an alum of MIT. [/quote]

I agree with this, and I made this point further up thread and on another thread where someone else brought up the lack of MIT at NYC TT private schools.  My DD is at one of these SS girls schools, and I’ve never heard her or her friends and classmates even mention MIT.  For whatever reason, it’s not on their radar as far as schools they’d like to attend.[/quote]

Spence had 4 girls going to MIT over 5 years . It is still a small number but it is 4 times higher than Brearley (1 over 5 years) [/quote]
