<p>That’s really sad.</p>

3

<p>Eh, kinda misleading. I know plenty of kids at Roxbury Latin, and I went to Andover.</p>

<p>TONS of kids from RL all want to go to Harvard. </p>

<p>At Andover, a lot of kids who could get into HYP choose other schools that are just as good. Columbia and UPenn (Wharton is huge) are just as, if not more, popular. People also love Duke, Stanford, MIT, Berkeley, Georgetown, and USC.</p>

4

<p>Also, at some prep schools like Loomis, the small NE liberal arts colleges are MUCH preferred. Most people’s dream schools at Loomis are Williams, Amherst, and Middlebury, not HYP.</p>

<p>But whatever.</p>

5

<p>i find it sad that you copied and pasted a list of 100 schools to brag about your own school.go find something better to do.</p>

6

<p>My school is #19,385</p>

7

<p>my school is less than 2 years old.</p>

<p>thank god we have like an 900+ API score or else we’d most surely be %@#@4</p>

8

<p>Ouch those tuitions are expensive (I go to a private myself).</p>

9

<p>great, a bunch of private schools…</p>

<p>too bad colleges are starting to realize that going to a private school doesn’t necessarily mean better…</p>

<p>i go to a public school in Massachusetts thats #2 or #3 in the state, and #65 in the nation. Kids get into better colleges than some private schools in our area…</p>

10

<p>That’s wonderful, a bunch of snotty prep school kids.. what a surprise.</p>

11

<p>My school is more like #999999.</p>

12

<p>amber, i dare you to go head to head with those “snotty prep school kids” academically</p>

13

<p>and while you fork over $19,000 a year for four years, my friend gets into harvard with a public school education</p>

<p>no, being in an expensive private school doesn’t mean you are automatically smarter. just richer.</p>

14

<p>

You know what? I’d have no problem doing that.</p>

15

<p>yeah, because i think at those prep schools they have secret AP classes that the College Board designs solely for them. That way they can claim that they got a 5 on AP Ass Kissing or a 5 on AP “How to have everything handed to you on a silver platter”. god, everyone thinks people at prep schools are that much smarter than those poor children in publics. where i live, people send their kids to privates because they CANT handle the public schools in my town. true, there are many kids at those schools who are certainly brilliant and dont fall under the stereotype. However, stereotypes were created to describe the characteristics of a MAJORITY of a group (gasp). Many kids at exclusive private schools are there because their parents have money-thats it. Prep school admissions hinge way more on how wealthy the applicants parents are than college admissions do.</p>

16

<p>Winsor is not well thought of in the boston area. Roxbury latin while very good, would not be considered no. 1. This list is flawed and you shouldn’t put too much thought into it. Did you put this list together yourself? This list is hilarious.</p>

17

<p>Boston Latin would be No. 1. They send about 35-40 kids every year to Harvard.</p>

18

<p>Hah! People spend more on 4 yrs of HS than I will in 4 of college.</p>

<p>School is what you make of it.</p>

19

<p>the list is from Worth Magazine</p>

20

<p>This thread can’t be serious.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Kind of proved her point there, champ. I really hope I don’t wind up sharing the same campus as you.</p>

<p>Of all the mundane things to obsess over, some of you pick high school rankings? Are you joking?</p>
