<p>Yup, there’s really a larger number of exceedingly good schools beyond what seems to be popularly discussed on CC. I wish kids and parents wouldn’t bring up the ‘help get into an Ivy’ subject; many of those kids would attend an Ivy no matter what high school they attend. Not always because of their academic/athletic/artistic/etc. quals, but many times of who they are. Many kids have their destiny laid out before them, kids who will not be turned down by the boarding school they apply to nor later the Ivy they apply to (if they choose to attend an Ivy).</p>
<p>We’ve always kind of viewed those merit solicitations just barely above the People to People solicitations.</p>
