[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For an unhooked UMC smart kid? We are trying to decide if we should switch our bright child to private school.[/quote] Depending on the kid and the school. Generally speaking, for a smart unhooked kid but not ultra competitive, it's easier to get into non-ivy T20 or T10 lacs from a feeder private school. For an ultra competitive kid, it's much easier to get in ivies and T5 from a really good public school. [/quote] Agree. When you select a private school, don't look at the matriculation data and think it will necessarily realize on your kid. The matriculation data includes so many hooked kids. Legacy, donor, lot of athletes, and every school has a fair amount of first gen and low income. Our view certainly changed during the application season when the counselors start steering kids.
