<p>Wow, Tara, you certainly are open, and seem like a fun interesting person to be around! No, I don't you, but it's wonderful to speak to a fellow gator.</p>
<p>Nice to speak to you too! Are you a green or gold?
I was a green - probably the most unathletic green in the history of Chapin!
PS: Did you ever have Mr. Chapman in middle school? Even after 3 years of Exeter, he was the best teacher I've ever had!</p>
<p>Tara, I'm sorry. I'm just not as brave as you. But, I will say we have a lot in common and I wish you were still at Chapin. You sound like an incredible person. Btw, how is your experience at Exeter. I heard it's an amazing school.</p>
<p>"Interestingly enough, I'm curious to see the NYC private school "exmission" rates when they count the many, many students of theirs who leave in 9th or 10th grade to go off to boarding schools..."</p>
<p>probably not a lot of you have heard of Peck, but that is one k-8 school with a nice record</p>
<p>personality wise I'm not a big fan of the students that attended the school, but for high school admissions they're hard to beat</p>
<p>The</a> Peck School - Student Life - Upper School - Secondary School Placement</p>
<p>Where is Peck located?</p>
<p>morristown, nj</p>
<p>It's good to know there are so many great schools in NJ!</p>
<p>I don't see how this can be considered the top high schools in "THE WORLD" since the entire metric is admission to 8 US universities. I couldn't figure how why Eton or Roedean hadn't made it until I read the article.</p>
<p>And even within the US it seems skewed to the East coast. Where's Stanford or Cal Tech? Pomona????? Please. </p>
<p>I think this article should be titled: </p>
<p>Select US Universities top feeder schools.</p>
<p>What criteria would you use? Btw, on every ranking I've seen including Peterson's Prep Review, the same schools are on the list. I haven't seen the 2 schools you mentioned on any list.</p>
<p>Roedean and Eton are British schools, which is exactly my point. This is not a world list, its a US list and its a list of schools who have fed the most students into certain universities, which may or may not be a criteria for greatness. If I were to use a different group of universities: Duke, University of Virginia, Stanford, Cal Tech for example then my list would look entirely different which makes this totally subjective. To have a world list you'd have to have top universities around the globe and include schools like Oxford and Cambridge, to have a meaningful list you'd have to have non-subjective criteria. Thats all. Doesn't mean these aren't truly great schools.</p>
<p>I agree with you. I think the use of the word "world" is a bit of hyperbole.</p>
<p>Lets think outside the box for a second and fly to mid time zone. Chicago has some of the best day schools in the country. University of Chicago Laboratory Schools is on par (in my opinion) better than many NYC day schools. The diversity also seems to be greater (in terms of race.) </p>
<p>I met a German kid, an Israeli kid, a girl from Wales, and my tour guide was an Indian born kid who lived in Australia for 8 years.</p>
<p>In this review, Yale and Stanford are not included..</p>
