there are thousands of private prep schools in this country and they send most of their students to private, non-Ivy league colleges. In the VERY NARROW context in which you are apparently seeing this thread-ie where do the top, New England prep schools(Choate, Deerfield, Andover, Exeter) send their students? To the local private colleges in their area(New England). Where do the well-to-do WASP families of the south, mid-west and West send their kids-mainly to private colleges in their local area. The thread was not just about the 'top boarding schools" but preps in general.</p>
