[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Private school doesn't mean your kid has better odds for admission... it can work the other way. Grades can be inflated to appease the parents shelling out tuition money, and colleges want kids that aren't privileged in every way. Good luck to your kid, I just find the private school call out annoying.[/quote] It matters because of the size of the school and competitive entry. No schools gives everyone straight As. So when you have competitive admissions, your lowest ranked kid at a private school is not the same as the lowest ranked kid at a public school. The scale is different. Believe people when they tell your their straight a student become a C student when they switched to private. They didn't get dumber, but they are at the bottom of a new and smaller group, so they get the Cs, even when they get 4s and 5s on AP tests and have 1400+ SATs.[/quote] Agree with this as well.[/quote]
