[quote=Anonymous][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). [b]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. [/b] 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] This is a good post. I hope OP reads this and gets a freaking grip.[/quote]
