[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most Ivy admits from those schools have a hook: legacy/donor family, athletics, URM etc. They’d get in from any TT, 2T, or even (!) 3T school. The only thing Brearley or Trinity or wherever has the “best” matriculation did is identify students who are shoe ins for Ivies. Ranking or deciding between them based on matriculation is tedious.

They’d also get in from a public school.

The real question ought to be “what will this school do for my kid specifically” - the reason to avoid a 3T is that if your kid is bored out of their mind in high school, that’s going to affect their college prospects in ways that have nothing to do with the school’s reputation.[/quote]

The schools give social and professional connections that are superior to Ivies. The quality of education, due to individualized attention and resources and lack of faculty tenure, is better than any public by leaps and bounds (sorry, Scarsdale). They will harm your college admissions prospects significantly but that doesn’t matter. It’s better to go to Collegiate and SMU than Rye HS and Cornell. [/quote]
