[quote=Anonymous]Dated. What I have heard from recent college admin is that the private school kids are coming in very well-prepared to do college level work. They are seeing so many kids arrive and need remedial help, need tutoring in required courses which should not be so difficult to anyone that took the courses in college--calc, etc. Writing is awful. They do really seriously take into account high school rigor. Our private, not a big 3 (about half the cost) had an amazing year last year. I do know based on looking at our public school's listed results, my kid likely wouldn't have gotten into several of the schools he did from our big public.[/quote]
