[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can do the math on admissions data. It’s not perfect but pretty insightful. I compared our (very good) public and a big3, and big3 was much better. Publics give admission—not matriculation—but even giving the public all the benefit of the doubt, the private was materially better at placement. Can’t speak to nonbig3 And, as others will beat you down on, it ultimately didn’t come down to admission data for us but rather the happiness and stoking curiosity for our child. [/quote] Publics have a wide range of kids, many of whom are going to trade school not college, and many of whom can't afford to be in the donut hole between grants and full pay. You need a way to compare the private school kids to public school kids who are headed to college as full-pay students, and to my knowledge there's no way to make this comparison.[/quote]
