[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parent of a senior at a Big 3. No far it feels like a big no. My spouse disagrees - they are focused on how "well-prepared" our kid is and that our kid have been relatively happy. I agree that those are good outcomes.
However, I feel like it was a crap-load of money and our kid will probably attend the same school or even less prestigious than he would have out of our public school. I have not felt well supported through the college process and yes I'll reveal the school when it's all over. :( [/quote]

I have 3 kids in a good public and considering switching to private. I wonder if it is more difficult to get into a top university from a top private since most spots go to legacies and URM. If you are a typical strong student with no hooks, I would think your college prospects may even be worse at a top private.

Dh and I are products of public school. We both attended T30 colleges and ivy grad schools. Our children are stronger than we were in every way when we were in school in the 90s. I know the landscape is far more competitive now.[/quote]
