[quote=Anonymous]an A at a good or very good public is probably equal to an A- at a top private (top 3-5 private) for that city/metro area. Grades are probably equivalent for a test-in top public and a top 3-5 private. selective colleges would know that. My husband's brother was at a good public school in Ohio (was ranked #2 in that school) and got into MIT electrical engineering and nearly failed out his first year because the students and material were much more rigorous at MIT. It took him 6 years to graduate versus 4. His friends at MIT who came from top privates and test-in top publics did not struggle as much as he did. His kids are now at private school in MA because he really did see the difference. [/quote]
