ExieMITAlum, I think mhmm is speaking of the process as it is practiced at a very few pre-preps. Ironically, in looking for schools with “great matriculation stats,” parents are looking for schools which seek to place as many students as possible at certain schools (at the college level, at certain colleges.)

Our school placement office does tell us to inform them if we have a clear favorite. That leads me to believe that mhmm is correct. Having thought about it, I see no benefit to the whole in allowing a few students to gather all the acceptances. I do think that the placement officers try their hardest to find fitting schools for every student.

I think any one of the schools on my son’s list could be the school at which he would thrive. They’re all wonderful schools.
