[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]First, the term big 3 is not helpful.  These private schools are all very different and lumping them together does not produce a useful data point.

My take is that seniors at my kid’s school are doing just fine.  It is definitely true that it is no longer the 1950s where a third of the class got into Harvard, Yale and Princeton.  The landscape is vastly more competitive for everyone, including private schools. But I would hold my head high to be at a number of the schools where graduates plan to matriculate.

Kids (beyond athletes) have been accepted to Chicago (in droves), UVA, Harvard, Yale, Dartmouth, Hopkins, UNC, Notre Dame, Davidson, Williams, BC, and Tulane off the top of my head.  At other privates, the list feels pretty similar for the kids I know.  Also, UMD (if you are in-state) was not as difficult an admit as a PP claimed.

My kid loved high school and is excited for college.  That is enough for me to consider tuition a worthwhile investment for our family. [/quote]

Is this STA? 
It sounds like it by the kids I know.  The school is doing well. [/quote]

Must be with the U Chicago reference...somehow Chicago and the school are tight.  A crazy %age of the class (close to 20%) was accepted to Chicago.[/quote]

I recognize the others from STA as well. [/quote]
