<p>i’m surprised a lot of top tier schools aren’t on that list</p>
<p>First of all I like the mentionings of St. Pauls. Second of all, I didn’t realize how big Westminster was. In atlanta it’s just another random private school. It’s beig and all, but never caught me as anything special.</p>
<p>I have read a very similar article by Forbes. I think they have a few, detailing the “prep school life/experience”. Though I do not avidly follow Forbes, this article may be worth reading.</p>
<p>@Hotchkiss: I found that funny, too. I did not read the whole article, but the only ones I saw (well “top tier”) were Milton, Exeter, SPS, Andover, and maybe a few others. </p>
<p>@micz: I learned a bit about many different schools, that until now were just “oh yeah”. Not as if they changed tiers or anything, just thought it was funny.</p>
<p>wow that was very interesting hey Peddie wasnt even mentioned in there =(</p>
<p>That’s how Forbes is, they get the best in area. Richest. Most elite. etc. Good or bad, don’t ask me.</p>
<p>They still should have mentioned peddie maybe one line or something =(</p>
<p>Though mentioned, Harvard-Westlake is a Day school. I’m not sure I saw any other “day” schools mentioned in the article. Harvard-Westlake was a Boarding school 35 some years ago when it was the Harvard Military Academy.
Wasn’t the founder of Forbes a Hotchkiss grad?:)</p>
<p>Harvard-Westlake, however, is one of the most prestigious schools in the nation. Forbes craves that.</p>
<p>Isn’t Peddie a tier two school?</p>
<p>what makes a school a tier 2? and what makes them a tier 1?</p>
<p>Lots of the schools are day. The Westminster Schools are right next to my house, they are day. And not really looked at as any super prestigious school in Atlanta…but I guess they are.</p>
<p>Yeah. Still great, tier two BS is like Tier 1 in the nation.</p>
<p>but it still feels like Peddie is not given enough attention</p>
<p>Well I mean Hotchkiss and Deerfield didn’t really get mentioned either.</p>
<p>@mpicz: Do they have good college matriculation. I noticed that the schools they had up there had really high HYPSM matriculations.</p>
<p>Westminster? Idk, but I mean it can’t be sooo amazing. Or I would be there and my parents would know how amazing it was lol. Doesn’t deserve national recognition</p>
<p>If I am correct about the college matriculation, I am not surprised that Hotchkiss is not as mentioned. I am, however, surprised Deerfield is not. SPS/DF/Milton/Andover/Exeter and I guess those Day schools have extremely impressive matriculation. While I am not sure about Hotchkiss, according to some services there matriculation to HYPSM is not on par with the above mentioned.</p>
<p>Edit@mpicz: Well then I am clueless.</p>
<p>I remember looking at Hotchkiss matriculation earlier on in the process before coming here. It wasn’t eye-opening…I think that’s why I eliminated it. But that was before I knew much…I just assumed it wasn’t as good as the other 4 I was applying to.</p>
