[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]going back to the question, look at your naviance

Brown and Swat love our HS. As long as you have a 3.85, you're good. ED is better at Brown.

Dartmouth takes zero kids unless an athletic recruit We've had multiple get into HYPSM and rejected from Dartmouth over the last 5 years. I think they favor high schools over others more than any other college (except for many Chicago).

Williams takes just the top. ED not a help

Pomona took no one, then they took a couple, now they take plenty. According to college counselor at the high school: they didnt know us or how to read our transcript, and now they do.

Amherst not too hard, but they like a story[/quote]

In our ENTIRE county last year, public schools only got 1 kid in at Brown, 1 Dartmouth, 0 Princeton, 4 Harvard (athletes), 1 Yale, 2 Penn, 7 Cornell, 3 MIT, 2 Duke, 1 Caltech, 3 Hopkins, 4 Chicago, 2 NW, 1 Stanford.

Think about that, close to 2,000 Seniors.

It's why the arguments on this Board are so insane. Your kid is not getting in, so putting down these schools and the kids that do is completely ludicrous.[/quote]

Sweetie, not all participants on this board are public school parents in your county.

My kids are at a private school where the top 25% get admitted to Ivies and super SLACs like Williams, Bowdoin, Swarthmore, and Amherst. Top 26-50% go to schools like Vandy, Tufts, Davidson, Boston, and UVA.

Your anecdotal reasoning shows a lack of nuanced critical thinking, which your kids probably share. This is why we shell out $60,000 a year per kid for private.

The state of public education in most districts is depressingly dismal. This is what happens when society as a whole fails to value education and entrusts its governance to localities that put morons who know nothing about education — including book-burning religious fanatics — on school boards.

I graduated from a top public high school, and my kids’ private education matches what I received in humanities but is sadly weaker in STEM. Compared to our local public high school, however, their private teaches rocket science.[/quote]

Sweetie? Can you be any more condescending and insufferable. Tough to get past your intro to even read your points. [/quote]
