[quote=Anonymous]If you take a look at the matriculations from top private schools vs. top public schools, the percentage of students going to T20 universities is significantly higher. At my kid's private about 20% end up at T20 schools, whereas our local public schools has about 5% going to T20. Our older kid had a specific university he wanted to attend, so we picked one of the feeder high schools and enrolled him there. The university he wanted to attend is a reach for most, but his college counselor advised him (after his application went in) that it was a target for him. He did indeed get into the school. My youngest attends a school that has a 40% acceptance rate to this same school whereas the publicly shared acceptance rate is 9%. We have high hopes for her as well.[/quote]
