[quote=Anonymous]Yes we have friends whose sons got in from a parish school technically - but they also did weekend school on top of that. Weekend and special summer school classes and camps. The typical parish education is not enough.[/quote]

So either a struggling student who needed summer school and weekend tutoring got into a Big 3 from a parish school or an overly studious child who does academic extra-curriculars got into a Big 3 from a parish school.  Either way, who cares he got in.  Plenty of super smart students at parish schools who are qualified for a Big 3 and can get in if they want (not all of them want to, as we have heard above).  Of course, just like at any other school, this does not include everyone as there are children who struggle academically and students who succeed academically.   The kids who are successful academically, self-motivated, smart, well-rounded, and interesting can get into Big 3s just like anyone else similar from any other school (even public).  A parish education is not by any means holding them back.  That is a misnomer from people who have no clue and just naively believe gossip and negative stereotypes.[/quote]
