[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The experience of a student at a wealthy private is typically very different from the experience at a large public with a limited budget.

Generally speaking, course availability and getting the classes you actually want each semester can be a big difference between the two.[/quote]

Just as the experience at an independent HS is very different from that a large public HS.  What some people will never understand (ahem, public school parents) is that parents who pay to send their kids to elite HS's aren't interested in having their with the masses at large public colleges, regardless of rankings.[/quote]

Thanks for talking about the elephant in the room. Why would a parent send their kid to a private/independent school with its small class and individualized attention only to have them go across the country to attend classes with 500 other students at Berkeley or UCLA.[/quote]

I dunno.  But I see a lot of large colleges on the top private schools’ matriculation lists so somebody is.  And many of the larger privates have pretty big intro classes too.  By your logic, everyone should be going to liberal arts colleges.

I never said that or implied that (ever heard of a mid-sized university?). I did however look at top privates in NYC and it seems very few go to large publics in California (or elsewhere):

Holy grade inflation 😳
I just looked at the Trinity School link…NO students got a C??![/quote]

There also very few A+s. You obviously don’t know the school and the students that go there. It’s ridiculously intense.[/quote]

At a lot of schools like this, once you get a C, your parents pull you out and send you somewhere with guaranteed As.[/quote]
