[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think among the top tier and most consider Spence, Chapin and Riverdale top tier, college placement are quite similar…but I don’t have all the data.

Horace Mann is not sooooo much more academically rigorous than Spence, maybe a bit more.[/quote]

Except for Collegiate and Brearley.  They typically stand above the rest on college placement.[/quote]

This post actually led to me look the stats up.  Spence has done a lot better over the last 5 years than I would have thought.  And it now has better data than Collegiate, which seems to have fallen off some (perhaps consistent with the views mentioned in this thread).  Still seems that Brearley is ahead somewhat, but perhaps not by as much as in the past.  Brearley had 124 girls go to the ivy league over the last 5 years.  For a school with 60 kids per grade, that's pretty crazy.  Spence did very well in its own right, with 91, also impressive (and 20 more than Collegiate, which had 71 over five years).  Where Spence did well and Brearley not as well was with Duke -- Spence 14 over the last five years compared to just 3 for Brearley.  Not sure what accounts for that, but Spence seems to have a nice pipeline to Duke for such a small school.[/quote]
