[quote=Anonymous]IMHO college placement is worse for unhooked kids in the top 1/3 of their Big 3 class. Big 3 HS admits test in. The mean SAT scores are 1400+. It's very difficult to be in the top 10% when class size is so small and 1/2 the class is capable of being in top 20% of their public school class. College placement is largely a comparison between candidates from the same school. Hooked candidates will be selected over unhooked candidates from the same school if they have comparable stats. If college placement is the primary driver, do not choose a Big 3 for your high achieving DC. If you choose a Big 3 because college preparedness and the extras a Big 3 offers are most important, then go for it. You will not be disappointed. [/quote]
