Aussie…kids don’t repeat a grade because they didn’t do well. I’m talking about someone who repeats the grade they were in before they entered the school. BS like it when you do that and encourage it. These are often 4.0 students in honors programs, not kids who need remedial classes. The top bs have many “repeaters”. There was actually an article on this, maybe WSJ?

Also, you can’t equate having PG’s as placing less value on acadmics. Many of the most "prestigious schools offer a PG year: Exeter, Andover, Deerfield, Hotchkiss, Loomis, and Choate.

And, I am sure many upperclassmen are “big” as well.

Nonetheless, I hope your find your niche, Aussie. It sounds like you have some nice schools from which to choose.
