Boarding School special relationships with ivy leagues

Decades ago, certain boarding schools were indeed “feeder” schools for certain colleges. Middlesex –> Harvard, for example.

I use the term feeder in a specific way: the school provided a halo effect, beyond individual merit.

Those days are gone.

Side comment: Lawrenceville is within close proximity to Princeton. My guess is that the Lawrenceville student body is comprised of a number of Princeton faculty kids, who are more likely to be admitted to Princeton. Similar dynamic for Boston area boarding schools and Harvard/MIT, and so on.
