Hey, anyone accepted into Ransom Everglades in Miami this year? on websites it says Ransom Everglades school ranks the second in the nation in day schools, is that correct? Also, is the work load of Ransom very hard?
Which ranking system? Maybe in the state. Although they filter well with SSAT for the region, the students are not challenged (according to few students) and their top college admissions officer left few years ago… On the positive note… few super model’s kids go there if your into that sort of thing and top 20% typically goes good universities (with hooks)
Didn’t Enrique Iglesias go there? Or was it Gulliver?
It was Gulliver, as did his dad.
@Andoverguy - Ransom Everglades is a great school; you should be supremely thankful that you were accepted and that your parents will pay for it. The top kids there are going to be just as smart as the top kids at Andover, perhaps even smarter. (They usually have more NMSF every year, too, although Florida is slightly easier on the selection index than NE boarding school cutoffs.) I wouldn’t say it is the second best day school in the US, but who cares? It’s way up there and if you are going to shine you can certainly shine there. If it were me, I’d rather be in Coral Gables than Mass!
Good luck!
