Admission to a college, prestigious or not so, does not promise a successful life or career. Ivy schools obviously provides more opportunities than 2nd tier schools. But you won’t be able to take them if you are not personally prepared with determination, creativity, academic training, and so forth that come with quality education that prep schools can clearly provide with much more resource than a public school, or in our specific case, homeschooling with community college classes.

I am not sure if going to a boarding school will increase my daughter’s chance for prestigious college admission. It might decrease it a bit. But I feel confident that it will better prepare her with those quality that she will be successful at any college, and career thereafter. God forbid if she doesn’t get into any of her top choice colleges, 2nd tier schools also provide, less but still great opportunities for those who are prepared.
