CRH is no worse than any of the other elite schools for being snobatoria. They all are, but it doesn’t really matter that much unless you are especially prickly. Where Choate will have problems is in the FA department, but if you get in AND get the aid you need, you are as golden as anywhere else. Choate’s been spending money like crazy lately, so you have new buildings and facilities aplenty if you get in–plus the school is bigger than most now and feels like it which is a benefit or not depending on your perspective. Plenty of opportunities there, though.

Avoiding schools because of second- or third-hand gossipy nonsense is pretty silly. Take the worst you hear and the best you hear and ignore it. If you’re serious about applying, visit, interview, talk to people on campus, and make your own judgements.
