[quote=Anonymous]There might be some advantages to a school like Latin for Ivy League applicants. The curriculum is not super-demanding AP-wise (compared to BASIS or TJ or the like) so you can take the most demanding courseload your school offers (which is what colleges care about), do well in it, and have time for extracurriculars like sports, community service, independent science research or music, etc. You'd get the benefit of being seen as adding diversity to the college since you come from an urban public school, and be able to present yourself as someone who takes advantage of not just what the school has to offer, but the city at large. With excellent grades, recommendations, SAT/ACT scores, and essay that's a pretty competitive candidate. Of course at schools that accept 5% of applicants nobody is a shoo-in, but it's not impossible to get into some pretty competitive schools that way.[/quote]
