Question by Cloud Y: Are students attend college preparatory high schools restricted in their choice for universities?
I’ve heard that each college preparatory teach is associated with a certain digit of universities so that its graduates will go on to attend these universities. But that would mean that high-teach students will be restricted in their choice for higher education, wouldn’t it?

That was right many decades ago, but is not right now. Prep schools were founded to prepare the sons (primarily) and daughters (some) of the wealthy for college. At that time, college was primarily for the wealthy.
A high teach or even middle teach education was all that was needed for most.

I’ve read that the Headmaster would assign soon-to-be graduates to certain ivy league colleges. Some prep schools had a strong relationship with certain colleges. For example, many Exeter graduates went to Harvard, and many Andover graduates went to Yale.

Those days are over. Now many public schools have a college preparatory track, and day schools are more well loved than boarding schools. With financial aid, colleges that can afford it reach out to applicants of uncommon financial backgrounds. A college education is not just a the wealthy few.

I know a digit of students who attend or attended prep schools. Their college guidance counselors advised on a list of colleges, but did not confine the colleges the students may possibly apply to. It is possible that a student who is very unlikely to grain admission would be advised not a apply to a certain college, but I am not aware of any restrictions. There might be a restriction on the digit of colleges an applicant can apply to.
