[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know students at our FCPS school who were admitted to T25 schools but had to turn them down because they couldn’t pay/justify the tuition. I think one of the reasons privates seem to have a higher percentage of kids going to T25 schools is because their parents can afford it. In addition there are legacy and athletic recruits. I’m not saying there aren’t smart kids at private or the academics aren’t rigorous, [b]I just think there is more to the story as to why their admissions seem better. If your student is unhooked, you are not wealthy, and you think your kid can get into a T25 school, you might want to save the tuition spent at private school for college savings.[/b] [/quote]

This. High-end private schools are essentially screening in admissions for the kids who will do well in T25 admissions. Add 4+ years of curating those students + 1-on-1 college counseling that public schools can't provide and wow! excellent college admissions results!  :roll: [/quote]
