[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is why people pay for top privates. The DC Big3 privates (this year) sent 20% to the Ivy League and another 20% to other top 20 universities and another 20% to top 20 liberal arts colleges and another 20% to universities ranked 20-50.. [/quote] Not really comparable. Private school populations are 1) already screened in for academic excellence 2) more likely to be legacies 3) more likely to be paying for the ECs and other experiences that curate a strong candidate. Just taking a random student from a public school and dropping him into a top private is not going to magically make them a better candidate for a top university. The outcomes are totally what I would expect for a good public school district. Most kids go to their public universities + a range of OOS and privates, mainly mid-range. Why is that surprising?
