[quote=Anonymous]OP here. I think my kid would be at the top 15-20% of our highly regarded public. There are a lot of very smart kids at our public. I do not think he would be top 10%. I see him taking a mix of honors and a few APs and won’t be straight As. Our public has kids taking 15+ APs and my son won’t be one of those kids. I have no idea where DS would fall in a decent but not Big3 private. From looking at the college lists, it seems like one half or at least the top 1/3 of private school students seem to be going to what I consider good college. I originally thought it was T50 but it is more like T30. I can’t say for sure but it feels like chances may be better from private. We are not URM, first gen and will not be a recruited athlete. DS will be legacy.[/quote]
