[quote=Anonymous]If my goal were simply to maximize the chance of Ivy admission, I'd go public (in DC -- in MD and VA, it might depend on HS). We chose private for educational reasons. I suspect DC would have had a better shot at HYPS coming from Wilson or Walls (as a legacy) vs. a Big 3. Big 3 might give DC more of an edge at lesser Ivies (not a legacy). From an admissions standpoint, private HS is wagering a substantial amount of $$ on an under entry very uncertain outcome with no guarantee that, to the extent that you've changed the odds, it's been in your DC's favor rather than to your DC's detriment. Much depends on the specific class and who is applying where. It may also be difficult to correctly anticipate comparative class rank and GPA in public vs. private.[/quote]
