[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the tier question boils down to two things:

1) How heavily do you weight admissions exclusivity versus academics versus college matriculations; and
2) How many tiers do you want to end up with.

If we're going with three tiers, where TT are the prep school equivalent of Ivies, 2T are other schools that have reasonably competitive admissions, and 3T is everybody else, and we're heavily weighting acceptance rates, you'd probably have to include Riverdale in TT and most of the other non-TT schools mentioned in this thread in 2T.

If on the other hand you have four tiers and you weight academics/matriculations more, 1T would probably be just the canonical quintet of HM/Trinity/Dalton/Brearley/Collegiate, 2T would be Riverdale/Spence/Chapin/St Ann's and maybe Friends or one or two others, 3T would be the academically weakest "name" schools like Fieldston and LREI, and 4T would be the schools that take everyone like BWL and Dwight.[/quote]

Spence actually outperformed HM ( IVY league + MIT + Stanford rate) using the latest college matriculation data published on their websites. But I am curious to know why, as I always thought HM was much more academic focused than Spence.  [/quote]
