Hey Guys,

Please try not to rank schools - there’s really no point… I did it when I was in your position, and to be honest, rankings count for nothing. Its all about which school is the best fit for YOU not the best fit for public rankings. Its where YOU think YOU will “find your promise” and succeed not only as a student, but as a person.

If your concern is college matriculation, all of these schools are relatively the same. And to be honest, from an inside boarding student perspective at a “top” school, IVYs are not held in the same respect as they were years ago. Many kids from boarding schools like to go to small liberal arts colleges (Middlebury, Williams, Amherst) and these schools are barely known by those in the “outside world” – but are some of the best colleges in the US! and get this - they’re not event taken into account in rankings.

My point is - all of these schools will, by and large, get the job done. The rest is up to you. Find the school that will help YOU succeed!
