[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a public school graduate at a T30 OOS flagship and a private school student going through the application process now. My private school student is getting a better education, but I’m concerned about how admissions will turn out. Most of the top public universities seem to calculate 4 points for an A, 3 points for a B, etc. — and then give an extra .5 for honors classes and 1 point for AP classes. At our private high school, only one honors section is offered for each class and students only take honors in their strongest subjects. At the public high school my older child attended, decent students took honors for everything. I agree with what others have said. Private high school sets you up well for private colleges, but it seems like a disadvantage with selective public universities.[/quote]

Kid will do well in private colleges or where your HS has connections

It does work out.

Look at your HS data: what % of the class is attending to T30/T10 SLAC? At ours it’s nearly 75-80%.
For T20, it’s closer to 45-50%.
