[quote=Anonymous]I think it is a combination of 2 factors. Parents assuming because they are at private that they have a leg up on gettign into competitive schools and the college counselors assumign that because of there longstanding relationships with lots of SLAC and the Ivy's that they don;t have to cultivate relatiosnhips with other schools especially the larger universities.

It is a verydifferent process than even a few years ago.There is so much competition and huge influx of applicants from overseas. especially in teh hot fields of engineering, computer science and business, privates can have a hard time competitng because there science curriculums can;t compete with publics or science academies. Traditionally, many privates have been more humanities driven and many kids today are lookign in opposite directiosn for colleges.

it will be interesting to see how privates adapt. Bullis has started a STEM oriented program. I think you will see other privates follow down this path as well.[/quote]
