well i’ve got to say i didn’t know HADES either till this board. it seems to be the list of schools people can say on the top of their head when they’re asked randomly name 5 top schools you know. yes, weird analogy, but you can also see it like that. all top boarding schools are really really awesome, don’t get me wrong. there are tons of equally good schools that are not in the acronym- groton, milton, choate, lawrenceville, etc. but i think we call it HADES because it seems to be more well known. when I was first introduced, i only knew exeter, and exeter because a guy from my school attended.

you are very experienced, i really think you shouldn’t sweat over HADES. you can think of it as just a standard list of top schools.
