[quote=Anonymous]NP here I've sent kids to both private and public. Depends on what kind of colleges your kid is aiming for. If we're talking about full pay unhooked UMC kids... MIT, Caltech, Ga Tech type top STEM schools: best if top 5-10% from a rigorous public HYP Penn, Brown, Dartmouth, Duke, JHU: these are target schools (not reaches) if from top 5-10% of a private know to these Ivies Stanford: top 10% from top private or public but must be FGLI and/or unusual EC Cornell, Columbia, Chicago, Rice, WASP: top 10-15% from good to great privates (perhaps even top 30% is enough for Chicago if ED full pay). You need to be top 5% from a public to get into these otherwise it's heavily reliant on extraordinary ECs if not Questbridge. T20-40, good LACS like Middlebury, Oberlin: much better to be from a well respected private (top 30%-50% of class have a good chance getting in esp if from a top private)[/quote]
