[quote=Anonymous][quote]Hard to say. My stepson went to Stuyvesant in NYC, which is similar to TJ in many ways. He wanted to go to an Ivy, and was a straight A student and athlete (swimming). He only made one Ivy, and was really disappointed. His brother went to a small private, and his grades were weaker, and he did not do a sport (although he did do chess club). He got into two Ivies. But that doesn't speak to whether a large base school, vs small private, would give you a better chance. How many Ivy admissions does a person need ?[/quote] From Stuyvesant, kids expect a fair number. Plus, if you are someone interested in going to Cornell, Brown (which some might consider comparable in terms of prestige) probably isn't comparable to you in terms of the feel and size of the school.[/quote]
