[quote=Anonymous]PP, your hypothesis got me curious. According to the Dept of Education, there are 10x as many public school students as private school students. So assuming each school type is just as likely to produce Intel finalists, there should be a 10:1 ratio of public:private. And your theory suggests the ratio should skew even more toward public school students -- 15:1 maybe? But when I check the Intel finalist list, it's actually only about 4:1, which suggests private school students are outperforming public school students pretty significantly. How does that make sense under your hypothesis? Also, FWIW, the Intel finalists seem a much more mixed bag than you suggest, with very few schools proximate to the major research facilities. Your hypo is a nice story, but I am skeptical of it standing up to empirical scrutiny. [/quote]
