Ok, first of all, the school in NY that apparently has boarding school counseling and SSAT administration probably ends after 8th grade, therefore, EVERYBODY in the the grade would be leaving the school, and most probably look into boarding school (it’s not unlikely and I know of a couple schools that do end in 8th or 9th grade)

Also, from the Le Rosey website:
“So as to preserve its international character and linguistic mix Le Rosey operates a nationality quota system: no more than 10% of students from one country or group of countries with the same dominant language are admitted.”

This will probably make it a lot harder to get in (sorry, but its true)

Another excerpt from the site:
“the admissions examination will be sent to your current school and the interview will take place if possible at the home of a former student in your locality.”

so you do not have to travel all the way to switzerland to take the test or have an interview.

The college list (of the past 7 years) is pretty good but, as mentioned before, does not include every ivy league, so you definitely DO NOT have a free ticket into any one of your choice (sorry)

It looks like a fine school, definitely suits its purpose, but it isn’t diverse in it’s range of activities (music, sports) and is very set on life style, diversity of people, ect…

if thats what your looking for though, go for it!
