My chances

Hey guys, first time poster here.

Graduated from Ethical and I'm going into my second year at Eaglebrook in the fall. I really want to get into Exeter or Andover but let's assume that I don't and wind up at a non-target like Berkshire. If that happens, will I honestly have a chance at IB? Also, I'd be a fifth-generation legacy at Princeton so I think I'll have a good shot at getting in but I'm really worried that going to a lower-tier prep school will hurt of chances of FT. Thanks in advance.

Study hard and try for Exeter or Andover. It won't be the end of the world if you wind up at a non-target. Legacy at Princeton will help a lot. There, you should be well positioned for FT. I would recommend learning your financial statements and basics about IB now. Good luck.
