Your recommended adjustments are absurd. You are out of your mind my friend. You clearly know little about the boarding school lifestyle and culture shift that has happened over the last few years. Did your “globally recognized” boarding school even have an investment banking association?
I have to agree. Cranbrook and St. Alban’s have boarding programs. PEA will always be S tier and a tier above the rest.
I am at an A tier school, and IB is highly sought after by the student body.
I always think it's hilarious how you fortunate sons love to brag about how big your golden spoon was. Are you this out of touch? Are you so oblivious as to how much the rest of us despise you for it? I have been homeless in the past but fought tooth and nail to earn a full scholarship to a good, not great college and landed a "prestigious" buyside offer for SA 23. The bigger your golden spoon is, the more I can't help but think I'm better than you. In my book, making it to Wall Street from Compton High is infinitely more respectable than from Harvard Westlake. Mediocrity is too well concealed by parents who hire private tutors.
You both suck tbh
Very true. This guy has to be a different level of out of teach to get this butthurt about which boarding school is better, at the point of cursing a guy out for having the wrong opinion.
This is a huge problem on this site, too many privileged kids who’ve never faced adversity or have any true skills/abilities end up revolving their entire identity on this bullshit 95% of the population abhors. If you went to a good boarding school, all that means is your parents gave you a bigger advantage and you had less risk exposed.
What a calming read.
Is this fucking real?
Yeah I am at a loss of words. Not only does OP (or really anyone chiming in, for that matter) not know anything about these places, he also conflates target universities with, like, high schools?

I'll just preface it (I went to a top boarding school. Not written there, but frankly, when you spend enough money on the education, names carry around regardless of how good / shit it was). Ranking these schools is a complete waste of time. Most kids don't know what to do at the age they're at and so most don't end up using the networks these schools provide. Most of the benefits are stronger educational support and strong co-curriculars. Mine couldn't help me whatsoever in my IB aspirations, especially when looking abroad. If I see people 'ranking' these schools, comes across as a vanity project with a stick up the guy's ass. Don't pay any attention to this 'ranking' - completely useless in the grand scheme of things. University is far more useful when ranking, and the grit you get out of it.
Chances are you went to either S or A and want to feel good about the school you went to. Doesn't matter whatsoever kid. No one cares.
