[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is it better to be within top 25% GPA at Sidwell, or top 25% GPA at public magnet?

I am parent of current middle school student. My child is considering applying at both public magnet and top privates like Sidwell next year. Entering public magnet is highly likely given the current academic status. My child is not sure which one would be better for future. We are just starting to research [b]privates which are strong in STEM.[/b][/quote]

None. PP, please don't waste your money unless your income or assets are stratospheric. Keep your kid in their home school, or do the magnet, but if I were you, I wouldn't waste it on private. Unless your kid has one or more hooks, your child won't get into an Ivy from a selective private school, because many parents went to Ivies. Public magnets are full of Ivy hopefuls too, and it's going to be very hard to stand out, but at least you won't be paying an arm and a leg for it, which means the skills and rigor will prepare them for college without bankrupting you.
