@okon2122 I’m not sure where “most rigorous in the country” is coming from. They can be excellent schools for the right kid (and, as noted, occupy quite a range of selectivity and rigor), but the only one that seems to me to fit into the “MOST rigorous” group would be Reed, which has become significantly more selective in recent years, and is a bit of a ringer in this crowd. Others may have other thoughts in this regard, but that’s my impression.
