@cameo43 could give you some insight on Berkshire, although it’s been a while since I’ve seen her on the forum.

I would trust your gut as to where you and your DD feel they would be most at home no matter what the circumstances, whether she be sick, hurt, celebrating, sad, etc.

The academics at both schools are very strong. I think you are comparing apples to apples there. Just because one school may have a lower acceptance rate does not make the academics better or stronger. There are many very selective “ranked” schools that have lower SAT scores than other lesser known schools.

Where do you have the least concerns of her being able to thrive? In my mind these are very different schools in a lot of ways (other than strength of education IMO) so hopefully it makes the choice much easier.

Good luck!
