[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]same slices from each. Top 10% similar set of Ivies, top 10-25% similar set of competitive colleges, middle section same again, bottom of privates still go to college but bottom of publics might not go to a 4 yr. No college acceptance advantage from top public HS versus top private HS. There are other advantages to privates, and some only to publics. Best thing would be to move to N Dakota or something. [/quote] Big 3 have more like 20-25% going to Ivies+ and the entire top half of every class goes to one of most selective colleges on Barron's list. [b]But that's because of the completely different financial profile of their students. [/b]Very few Big 3 families will turn down a top tier school to go to UMD or UVA but that is a common decision for many families at public schools. [/quote] They also have a much higher proportion of legacies. That's who actually has an "unfair advantage."[/quote]
