[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^You obviously did not attend an elite magnet. Top ranked public high schools like New Trier, Bethesda - CC, McLean, Shaker Heights, NYC schools - Stuy, Bronx Science, Hunter, etc., TJ, etc. send just as many if not more students to Ivies and comparative schools like Stanford than even the top ranked elite privates like Exeter. As such they're a pretty good indication of future opportunities, I'd say.[/quote] Oh my god. Excuse me for insulting your alma mater. The fact that -anyone that lives in the neighborhood- can attend, say, Chevy Chase or McLean High School sort of takes the prestige down a notch, wouldn't you say? Yes, there are plenty of students at public schools that go to Ivies, but they're typically the high-achieving students. Most don't. The idea that some public high school ranking affects a college's view of your kid is hilarious. [/quote]
