[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]my kids are at a tt nyc private.  they very top (top 5) academic kids can write their ticket, even if unconnected. these kids also usually have some national level award in debate or some stem competition, etc.

kids who are not 10% of class but are in top 30%, ED to Chicago or end up at Georgetown, MI, USC, Cornell (not Dyson), Penn (not Wharton), a bunch of LACs[/quote]

Think this differs a little bit among the TTs.  The smaller classes of Brearley and Collegiate, for example, sometimes lead to a larger percentage of kids going to top schools.  This year, there are at least 30 kids from B going to the ivy league, plus one to Stanford and 5 to Chicago.  Last year it was mid-20s to ivies, a couple to Chicago, plus a Stanford, MIT and Caltech (though MIT and Caltech are not common there).  With a class size of 60-65, it can be a large percentage to top 20 schools.[/quote]

Brearley kids are especially connected! Not what this thread is about.[/quote]
