Colleges want variety, different backgrounds. I say this because academics will get you to a certain level but then there’s a glass ceiling. Choose wisely and maybe think about the happiness of your kids over the best academics. (Not saying send your kid to a dense kids school) but just weighing Bryn Mawr over like a RPCS. Both schools full of homework junkies and mathletes but RPCS might be a bit more of a happier place.
