[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]College Admissions is extraordinary competitive these days, almost lottery like. Going to private school does not provide significant placement advantages. So I agree with OP that selection to top schools is become more scarce. Here are the facts: 1) Top schools have not expanded seats while the number of students have exploded. 2) COVID has forced many students to take gap years causing even more demand this year. 3) Grade inflation and test optional makes many applications appear the same 4) Top schools look for first time college and unique life perspectives - the opposite of private school kids[/quote] So basically your daughter could have gone to Wilson or a decent MoCo public high school and gotten into the same caliber of college--Tulane, BU, BC, etc...YIKES.
