<p>That is exactly how the term is best used. As a placeholder for high academic requirements. If a student uses that as a benchmark, they’re on the path to be qualified for any college they desire. Which is why we love that our D desired a Prep school environment. She didn’t want to “GO” to an IVY - just have the requisite academic preparation to ensure she had choices - not defaults as she might have if she’d stayed home where the local community college is considered a “stretch goal.”</p>
