<p>hpflrent, after reading some of the post on this board, it only reinforces the glaring fact that people see what they want, and hypocrisy reigns supreme. </p>
<p>bearcats, you crack me up. These are great schools heavily sought after by students around the country. For students in NYC, these schools are the 2nd and 3rd options. It's much easier, for k-8 students from NYC to get admitted to these schools, and usually only those shut out of the NYC privates attend bs.</p>

<p>is this your only comeback? I thought u r the one who always emphasize OBJECTIVE DATA...LOL TROLL, and i dont feel like arguing with you anymore, since you constantly fail to come up with real sources... and constantly disregard people's OBJECTIVE DATA as out of date or irrelevant. Talking with you makes me dumber.</p>
<p>typical example, when you claim andover's library "doesnt come close" to chapin's library..LOL while andover's library has 5 times the number of entries.</p>
<p>You disregarded my acceptance rate information from petersons as out of date, while I called up collegiate's admissions office and they confirmed the overall admit rate on peterson's</p>
<p>Whoa whoa whoa!</p>
<p>Everyone take a deep breath. No need for scratching or biting.</p>
<p>Shannyc, when I said "don't be misled", I mean't, "OK, everyone, no need to look at things black and white"</p>
<p>You see, every year we have the same arguments about which school is better. </p>
<p>And Brearley is a wonderful school. I was actually too intimidated to apply. </p>
<p>But there is NO NEED to start bashing other schools. Defend boarding school, NYC private schools; there's no need to assert, "so-and-so is OBVIOUSLY much better"</p>
<p>The point of going to a specific high school is trying to find a school that will apply to YOU. That YOU can match with. For example, though I often tell my friends that Brearley is so much more hardcore than our school, I am very content at my school, feeling that I am being better nourished. Again, this is MY PERSONAL OPINION, which no one has the right to bash.</p>
<p>No need for people to get on their high horse. Calm down. </p>
<p>Seriously, this catty, repetetive fight of "my school is better!", "no, my school is better!" does not speak well for the schools you go to. </p>
<p>Some people prefer boarding school. Some thrive better at a NYC private school like Horace Mann or Brearley. OK. </p>
<p>Debate friendly, please.</p>
<p>more example of trolling behavior:</p>
<p>“hpflrent, after reading some of the post on this board, it only reinforces the glaring fact that people see what they want, and hypocrisy reigns supreme.”</p>
<p>“I guess this answers my question of "how many excuses do YOU GUYS have up your sleeves?".</p>
<p>“IluvA's, how many more excuses do YOU GUYS have up your sleeve? "Don't be misled"? It is what it is.”</p>
<hr>
<p>when you claim andover's library "doesnt come close" to chapin's library..LOL while andover's library has 5 times the number of entries, does it fit your description of "people see what they want, and hypocrisy reigns supreme" </p>
<p>You disregarded my acceptance rate information from petersons as out of date, while I called up collegiate's admissions office and they confirmed the overall admit rate on peterson's, isnt that another example of "accepting what they want to see, disregarding the facts"?</p>
<p>OVER AND OUT, i dont talk with trolls</p>
<p>Ok, everybody needs to calm down</p>
<p>Please read everything and don’t argue against me unless you have actually resided or are a resident of NYC.</p>
<p>NYC are ranked higher than boarding schools in sending kids to IVY leagues b/c you have 100s of opportunities that you do in NYC that can't do that BS cant offer. The education that you receive at lets say andover and exeter are equal to those you would get to dalton, trinity, calhoun...</p>
<p>Hotchkiss got a new music building. soo what. you can go to Julliard or carniege hall or radio music city hall or manhattan school of music...</p>
<p>Exeter has the second largest secondary school in the world. soo what. You got the NYC library.</p>
<p>Andover has a a huge art center. soo what. NYC has the guggenheim on 5th avenue.</p>
<p>BS have cool science centers. soo what. You can do the Columbia University (IVY) Science Honors Program. </p>
<p>wanna learn dance? go to julliard</p>
<p>Basically, you wanna learn something at BS, you can learn it in NYC with some of the most talented people in the world. NYC is a city of options. A typical day for a dalton student who was accepted to harvard could have been go to school, go home , go to julliard, art lessons, gym...</p>
<p>IluvA's, well said. </p>
<p>bearcats. grow up. How old are you anyway. I didn't respond to your teacher to student ratio, because it's silly and irrelevant. Obviously, the students at Collegiate are being properly prepared for our institutions of higher learning. They get admitted to the ivies at a higher % than any of the bs you keep listing. And, c'mon bearcats. Collegiate is the only tt boys private in NYC that goes from k-12, it's probably the most sought after school in NY. I assure you that 44% of the students who apply don't get admitted. If you're saying that you called the school, I have to say that I really don't believe you, and I will call your bluff by calling the school myself.</p>
<p>I really don't want to respond to all of the immature arguements you're presenting. If you want to quote me on the libraries, why don't you finish the post. I admitted that I haven't seen any of the bs libraries, but am impressed with the technology and architecture of Chapin's. In addition I think my response is an appropiate one to hpflrent's.</p>
<p>Now, when you're finished with your tantrum, you may rejoin this discussion.</p>
<p>LOL "YOU CRACK ME UP"</p>
<p>"I didn't respond to your teacher to student ratio, because it's silly and irrelevant."
teacher to student ratio speaks for how much individual attentions students get. And what does ivies have to do with the quality of education? I got into wharton and columbia, AND SO WHAT? I am going to michigan Ross school of business. Maybe YOU CAN GROW UP and stop being PRESTIGE WH0RISH and shallow...but since you think ivy's are such a big deal, I should be your god and worship me pls, i mean afterall, wharton is even harder to get into than harvard :p</p>
<p>"when you're finished with your tantrum, you may rejoin this discussion."
and lol, are you a mod?</p>
<p>""The Anneberg Library at Chapin is a multimillion dollar, state of the art complex, and absolutely phenomenal. I really don't think Adover's library compares."
This shows how you completely lack the knowledge necessary to make judgement about boarding schools</p>
<p>bearcats, this may be the last time I respond to you. One I don't believe a word you say. I'm still calling your bluff on calling collegiate. I did say this about Chapin's libary, I also admitted that I haven't seen any of the bs's libraries. Grow up.</p>
<p>I really don't think I have to defend the quality of educations any of the tt nyc privates provide. You're a below average debater. Really.</p>
<p>"I really don't think I have to defend the quality of educations any of the tt nyc privates provide"</p>
<p>lol and that's exactly what you've been doing the whole time</p>
<p>"You're a below average debater. Really."
ya, you too. Telling people to grow up and invalidating other people's statement without reasonable reason...that's a classy debate move :) and i never knew being a trolls make you a good debater anyway ..so bye troll</p>
<p>oh and i apologize to everyone else for my "modesty" about my college admissions, but i really feel like shoving it at the troll, since he's so concerned about the ivies</p>
<p>this discussion is silly</p>
<p>bearcats your being mean and extremely childish plz watch your language.</p>
<p>Okay, I'll reply to you this last time. The statement, " I really dont' think I have to defend the quality of educations any of the tt nyc provide", is in response to your statement about what do the ivies have to do with the quality of education. In addition, I haven't been defending the quality of education of NYC schools, I've been attempting to compare them to the bs most talked about on this board.</p>
<p>Btw, eell45, your post about the resources the city has to offer is a good one imo. I sort of made a similar point earlier in this thread.</p>
<p>bearcats, are you calling me a troll?!? the reason i stated IVES was because in the first comment, shannyc said </p>
<p>"On this website I see that the top boarding schools are so revered, yet almost all of them are ranked behing the tt day schools in NYC according to Peterson's Prep, WORTH, and WSJ. Trinity, Collegiate, Brearley, Chapin, Spence, St. Ann's, and Dalton are all in the top 10 of Peterson's. I find this interesting."</p>
<p>When she mentioned WORTH, i talked about ives b/c there was any issue in that magazine called "how to get into the ivys" or something like that ( i have that magazine too shan!! =]). So b/c it was aout ivies i was assumed she talked about college placement.</p>
<p>no i m calling shannyc a troll, not you</p>
<p>See above^^^.</p>
<p>hey bearcats long time no see man...So you are heading to Ross over wharton? I am still undecided, but i narrowed down to 2. PM me.</p>
<p>and I agree. Shannyc is obviously a troll.</p>
<p>LOL, you people are way too much. It seems I touched a nerve.</p>
<p>Btw, to call me a troll is really lowbrow. There have been people on this board who have disagreed with me, but made good arguements. I graciously acknowledged that. D'yer Maker is one example that comes to mind. The fact that I find your post immature, doesn't make me a troll, bearcats.</p>
<p>shan, the fact that you come in without an argument simply invalidating other people's valid points claiming them to be "childish", their data to be "out of date", trying to weaken others' point by saying how you referred to their previous posts.. but without your own evidence to back it up makes you a troll</p>
<p>You confuse me. I called your friend childish, because he is being childish. I'm not the only person on this thread who noted that. The peterson's data is obviously outdated as most of the head of schools listed aren't at the schools anymore, as I said btw. I also referred your friend to a 2006 article in the NY magazine that list the acceptance rate of the NY tt privates.I don't understand what you're trying to say, when you posted " trying to weaken other's point by saying how you referred to their previous posts...but without your own evidence to back it up". Can you clarify? Do you mean when I said I don't have to defend the quality of education at the NYC privates?</p>
