You are looking for a unicorn.
Consider seeking healthy balance instead of prestige for your child. One leads to a more solid foundation.[/quote]

Hi I would like a universally recognized elite college attracting the highest achievers in the world, and you need perfect grades/scores to even enter the lottery to get in but NO PRESSURE and also NO COMPETITION once there.

Next up, find me a house in perfect condition in a great neighborhood that’s super safe with great schools and short commutes, but UNDER MARKET PRICE.[/quote]

OP here, and I hear you. Does it hurt to ask?
I don't think it's an inherently insane idea that a good school might also be prestigious, and also not a pressure cooker.[/quote]

Curious what you think “prestige” is and what it’s based on?

OKAY: LET"S CHANGE THE QUESTION:
GOOD SCHOOLS THAT HAVE AND ENCOURAGE WELL-ADJUSTED STUDENTS WHO AREN"T KILLING THEMSELVES TO COMPETE WITH EACH OTHER AND LEARN AND WHO SET KIDS UP FOR A HAPPY PERSONAL AND PROFESSIONAL LIFE TO THE EXTENT POSSIBLE[/quote]
