    Does NEFC take credit for UPenn & BC or is it more about the school listed? I have no idea. Just a question.

      There's a long discussion in TS on prep schools and their benefits both academically and athletically. My guess is that it's a combination of both.

        Of course it is likely both. NEFC likely helped the kids continue to play soccer at a reasonable high level, and the schools--both ISL schools--likely supported them and provided a good academic environment, coupled with solid ISL-level competition. That's why you see so many kids choosing to pursue the NEFC/ISL or GPS/ISL combination over pursuing playing in DA. On balance, the ISL kids do quite well in college admissions.

          It's definitely a great $200K investment.

            More often than not the choice is made for them.

              And in the case of a male player going to BC, regardless of what "credit" might be claimed, it is obvious that playing for NEFC helps a lot since you will be well known by the coach.

                LOL @. 200k for the chance to play college soccer, where there is a high likelihood to be a complete bench warmer.

                Anyways, still good for those kids. Obviously they are smart and decent soccer players too.

                I like the private school vs DA strategy myself, other than the huge outlay of cash. Getting a quality education is a good plan.

                  If you have it to spend, it certainly is.

                    Why do so many private school kids end up at the same pedestrian schools as public school kids from towns like Revere & Somerville?

                    What a waste of money.

                      Which place do you consider to be pedestrian, UPenn or BC?

                            That is your opinion, and your opinion alone. The value of a prep school is not simply entry into a top college. The foundation and preparation skills they learn will last them a lifetime.
                            So, don't be a brand name guy. Can your kid play D1?

                              I went to a mid tier public school. I think my "foundation and preparation skills" are pretty good, thank you.
