supporting: "The tier question comes up so often that I can't help wondering - Once a person finds a top 15 prep to get them into a top 10 university is there then a list of top five professions to be practiced at the top five firms? Do you and your spouse (culled from a list of top 15 available mates) then buy a house in a top 15 zip code and, while summering at one of the top 15 vacation spots, procreate so you can continue the process with the next generation?"


The education at Prep schools in tier one or tier two or tier three is outstanding. Sadly, the tier one attracts a greater portion of "trophy" families, who make decisions, not based on what is best for the kid, but on how it looks. Trophy houses, trophy wives, trophy kids all marching to a very strange drummer. Not all, but a fair number. Makes for a strange culture. For some folks, that the reason they avoid tier one.
