Solid list however I would make some changes. Switch Greenwich academy with greenwich country day school. Also Germantown Friends is severely underrated. They have been creating a pipeline not only to IB but to the buyside as well (apollo, kkr, blackstone etc.). Collegiate should be C tier and Eaglebrook to D. PS 122 could move up to B tier, I heard that GS and Centerview have started doing on campus recruiting and coffee chats recently.

 

thanks for letting me know, I guess since things are changing so fast at these schools it's hard to keep up.
