<p>Hobart and William Smith is very good, and on that matric. list.</p>
<p>the gunnery has a pretty good matriculation list, considering all the crap it takes from people (some on this board) about how bad a school it is.</p>
<p>The Gunnery is NOT a bad school, by any means. It sounds extremely ignorant when people call a private school "bad" when there are MANY public schools out there which NEVER send their students to Ivy League or top universities. </p>
<p>Its matriculation list includes many excellent colleges, including UPenn, Wake Forst, Yale, Tufts, etc.</p>
<p>But there are some people on this forum who just don't get that there are so many schools where you can get a great education, not to mention a good college acceptance. Like a while ago, some guy posted, "I pity whoever goes to the Gunnery."</p>
<p>Yes, I think I remember that post, lol. People really need to remember that MOST boarding schools are better than the average public schools. For example, Gunnery has a small average class size, like many boarding schools. That is one of the key assets that contribute to boarding school's appeal. It is safe to say that essentially one would receive a better education at Gunnery than at a public school. Therefore labeling the school as "bad" not only sounds totally ridiculous, it is also totally wrong.</p>
