[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm just not seeing a huge difference between privates and between privates and the wealthiest/magnet/application publics.

If you see the difference, can you please explain it to me? [/quote]

The difference is pretty huge when you adjust for the class sizes. Whitman has 450+ students per class and most top privates have 80-120. So take whatever measure you want and see whether Whitman or other similarly sized wealthy public’s are doing 4x better. Not even close.  [/quote]

Yeah…that is really weak analysis.  Considering privates are curating their class vs taking the first 120 that walk in the door you can’t say Whitman should somehow have 4X the admits.  Even comparing the top 120 at Whitman vs a private isn’t exactly fair, but at least somewhat comparable.[/quote]

Lmao what?? There’s no test by which private schools could prove their value to you, clearly. [/quote]
Not lmao. Np here. 
Pp you don’t seem to understand that the point is a child who would get into a selective private school will fair just as well at a Whitman-like public as they will be in the top part of the class and the College acceptances for the top part of the class of any dmv hs is similar to overall selective private outcomes. This is obvious now.[/quote]

It’s actually not. But you’ll then claim that the reason privates do better is because of the greater amount of hooked kids. [/quote]
