FWIW, we used the advice of @skieurope a couple of years ago. Kiddo was asked this question by almost every school. One school AO in CT asked Kiddo to rank them. Our hunch (based on what the ‘20 & 21’s had posted) was that the AO’s wanted to weed out who viewed their school as a safety. Do be mindful of your answer to this question when interviewing with an AO from an all-girls or all-boys school. If you state that you REALLY want the unique offerings/experience of a single gender school, but then list a co-ed one in your top 3, it kind of gives you away.
