Trinity’s network and quality of education is better. Higher proportion of billionaire and CEO children, whereas at Harvard that’s a small small subset. Most are grinds and a lot are on financial aid [/quote]

OK but isn’t “Trinity will help you get into a top college like Harvard” supposed to be a major selling point?[/quote]

To some unacquainted with the school. If you went, have a child there, or are close with a family there, you’d know this is far from the case. It will hurt your matriculation. [/quote]

I’m a trinity grad. Posted a bunch about before. Going to trinity won’t necessarily hurt your odds of getting into a good school. On average, we got into better schools than probably any other high school in the country. Kids with bs and cs got into colleges like
Michigan, etc. what makes it more difficult is you’re competing with other trinity kids, who are extremely well-resourced and talented students. If you do well, you can write your own admissions letter though. [/quote]

They get into better schools because there’s a
Competitive filtering process in admissions. The grade deflation at top privates is really tough. Any one of them would’ve been valedictorian at a middling public HS. All would be top ten percent at top public’s without much difficulty. [/quote]

Nah, we got into good schools because we had good tests scores, most of us had good grades from hard classes and lots of ap’s, and trinity has a great rep with college admissions. Obviously, it’s a competitive private school, but most of us were “competitively filtered” when we were 5, so that’s probably less a factor. Just when it comes to academics, we could, for the most part, play ball.[/quote]

Trinity selects applicants who will get good test scores and work hard at school. IQ can be tested in five year olds. You can tell which may be able to take calculus and which definitely cannot later on. Trinity didn’t get some random assortment of NY youth, otherwise it’d look like a public school with drop outs, pregnancy, and
Heavy CUNY representation [/quote]
