Ratings and rankings are especially important for foreign students who do not have the time or, possibly, the resources to visit any, or more than a few, U.S. boarding schools even though they are determined to attend U.S. schools. Several boarding schools were concerned about making college placement rankings available in Asia. Asia is the primary growth market for U.S. boarding schools, which hold TABS recruiting events throughout Asia each year. The primary concern for most Asian students is getting into the most selective U.S. universities. Much of the information provided at the Asian boarding school fairs constitutes little more than "brag sheet statistics" much more akin to a sales presentation than to a meaningful portrayal enabling one to fairly evaluate each school. I am not trying to criticize, but, rather, to point out the need for verifiable and comprehensive ratings for certain potential students.
