Lets play the prep school ranking game!(plus/minus)

Prep School Admissions Prep School Cafe
541

<p>Guys, this is a game/popularity contest, not a scientific survey. Is Choate “better” than Andover because it’s in first place and Andover was just knocked out? I don’t think so. And that’s coming from someone who went to Choate and is the parent of a current Choate student. It just means that at this time, on this forum, Choate has a larger and more active base of support than some of the other schools.</p>

<p>Having said that - Deerfield you’re days are numbered.:)</p>

<p>browneyedgirl,</p>

<p>This game might have been a welcome distraction before March 10. Now it has become a silly turf war between people trying to game the results to artificially inflate their chosen school. Indeed, it has turned into a caricature of one of those survivor shows on television where people join together to kick others off the island until there is only one survivor left. Forgive me for being satirical, but the best ranking will occur sometime after April 10 when the prep schools publish their respective yields.</p>

543

<p>I think we all know who’ll win that one - again. ;)</p>

<p>Put it to rest
1st Choate
2nd Exeter
3rd Deerfield
4th Hotchkiss
5th Groton
6th St. Pauls

<p>I will miss you dearly!.. R.I.P.</p>

<p>Please post on each thread: starting now you can only +1 and -2. (HOWEVER, IF A SCHOOL ONLY HAS 2 POINTS, YOU CAN ONLY SUBTRACT 1 POINT!!!)</p>

<p>Umm - I think the game is over zonade. Let’s put the lid on the coffin. For not reading the posts, I penalize Slytherin …umm, I mean Hotchkiss 14 points and restore Gryffindor … I mean Taft to its rightful position on the leaderboard, plus 3 points and a “second life” to Governors for being the nicest school students most often overlook.</p>

<p>Choate-26
Exeter-16
Deerfield-14
Taft -14
Groton -10

<p>Lol, you would have to do that, taftie :stuck_out_tongue: That’s the only way you guys can hope to compete in football too, by tampering with the score board. Bleed blue ! </p>

<p>Choate-26 (Ladies and gentlemen, this is what we call hyper inflation in economics)
Hotchkiss -15
Exeter-14
Deerfield-14
Groton -10

<p>Taft - There is not a number low enough</p>

<p>Hotchkiss +1 (should be one million)</p>

<p>exeter - 2 (hmm, they are pretty good, but to hell with them, this is war). </p>

<p>Let the thread Rest in Peace. :-)</p>

549

<p>LOL!</p>

<p>Don’t fight with your elders. I’m older and have more insurance. :-)</p>

550

<p>haha Exie, that made me laugh. Continuing the HP analogy, I would say that Hotchkiss is Hogwarts and Taft is Durmstrang/Bauxbatons :slight_smile: </p>

<p>Thread RIP</p>

551

<p>:-) </p>

<p>Indeed, those guys are buff and the girls amazingly attractive.</p>

<p>Though you have to admit the Taft campus and buildings looks exactly like Hogwarts down to the dorms in the upper floors and the big buttressed ceilings in the dining hall.</p>
