@bsadvisor: you have crossed the same line you have accused PhotographerMom of crossing. If you want to be a helpful, contributing member of CC then please do so. I am unclear on your motives here - one post is helpful, the next condescending. It is odd. Most of us on this board are here to try to help others and to gain information on admissions. Many of us stay around as our kids progress through boarding school to help newer member as well as to get answers to things that crop up as the journey through school continues. I think if you spend time reading the past few years worth of posts, you will find that many of the contributors you malign in your comments are, very often, helpful and kind. As I so often tell my kid: you reap what you sow. Good luck to your child in boarding school.

And oh, by the way, there are MANY families here whose kids were admitted to the “top” schools and could very much “cut it”, but chose a different school for their own reasons. Not everyone is swayed by a name.
