[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you guys really think the Ivy League schools are fighting over privileged private school kids? I'm in admissions at one and they aren't. We prefer kids from good publics who performed well in school with healthy extracurricular activities.  I tell my brother and sister in law repeatedly, that paying for private in hopes it will get them into a good college is really misguided.  [/quote]

+1 our office tries to get 50/50 public/private [/quote]

You do realize that only 10% of seniors in the US go to private (i.e. non-public) schools ?  So you are actually disagreeing with the PP since your 50/50 split would mean that private school kids are grossly over-reprsented (i.e. 5x more likely to be admitted than a public school kid) [/quote]

But far more private school seniors apply to college than public school seniors nationally. [/quote]

For this to be true when there are 3.3 million public school graduates and .35 million private school graduates, you’d have to believe that 90% of public school graduates do not apply to college.  [/quote]
