I feel that you have a valid point in that top schools bring in quality students and quality students graduate. I also feel that other people in the thread had some great comments about things such as sports clubs etc. However one important thing I did not see mentioned was the value of having smart people talk to smart people. Innovative companies across America are moving toward working on major inventive projects with small groups, because smart people build off, learn from, and are inspired by smart people. That’s why the Harkness method works, and I thinks it’s of key importance to understanding why boarding schools are so amazing.
