<p>I haven't posted in a while. I complained previously that NYC day schools, like Chapin and Brearley, were left out of discussions on this board. The new WSJ ranking shows that the top 3 schools in the world are Collegiate, Brearley, and Chapin. All are NYC day schools. Point made</p>
<p>you think ny doesn't get enough credit? check out the nj schools</p>
<p>Umm, lol, I see you really like these schools! I agree Collegiate is great. Dalton should be on that list though, is it? I applied to both but those incompetents at the admissions office did a mistake on my paperwork, barring me from a fall admission. Besides that, you did prove your point, although there is more to these schools then just a rank list.</p>
<p>Sorry to hear that. I had a debate last year with bearcats and a few others regarding NY day schools. Dalton is on the list but much lower.</p>
<p>roses&clovers the NJ schools aren't in the same league as the NY and New England schools, but some are great. However, I thought it was an abomination that the NY schools were left out of the discussion.</p>
<p>Ugggh, who cares now, lol. Thnx though, lol. Really, I would have expected to see Dalton higher. Do you have the link to the rank list?</p>
<p>haha I wish I lived in NY so I could apply to schools like Dalton, Collegiate, Riverdale, etc. </p>
<p>Could you post the link to the article? Also, was the criteria only based on college matriculation?</p>
<p>Whether or not Collegiate, Brearley, and Chapin are the best high schools in the country, if you could even measure that, is not relevant to 99% of the people posting here because there is no way they could attend those schools, which are in 1 city and take most students much younger.</p>
<p>Aussie, the link is online.wsj.com/public/resources/documents/info-COLLEGE0711-sort.html</p>
<p>Yes, Jonathan1 it was.</p>
<p>Inquiring mind, of course I agree with you. It was just fun seeing this after the debate I had here. Also, I don't really believe these are the "best" high schools in the country. There's no real way to measure that, just nice to have a little vindication.</p>

<p>Thnx</p>
<p>10 char</p>
<p>while I wouldn't say that nj is parallel to ny I would disagree that it is in a different league than ny and new england</p>
<p>for university delbarton is higher than exeter. </p>
<p>simply, there are only 4/5 top nj private schools and none of them have graduationg classes bigger than 120. It's really hard to get in</p>
<p>Point well taken roses&clovers. I misspoke about the NJ schools.</p>
<p>shanny....aren't those day schools, though? I think part of the debate stemmed from the fact that people on here were more interested in bs. I don't know, but why on earth is vindication important? That doesn't seem like a value to teach kids.</p>
<p>Are you serious? What kids? The debate was on how did these schools compare to Exeter and the like. I don't know, I like to win. Sue me.</p>
<p>The children who represent the majority of the posters on this board. Yes, I am serious....are you an adult? You come across as very tough and not so nice. Just surprising....not used to running into people like that so much.</p>
<p>LOL. Where were you raised?</p>
<p>New Hampshire....and proud of it. But, I believe there are kind people with good values everywhere.</p>
