[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I mean, good for you OP.  But it shouldn't be a great surprise that (1) top private schools don't focus solely on academic potential in selecting applicants and (2) top public school grads get into good colleges.  [/quote]
Yeah, and both of these things are magnified for high-scoring kids in the high school Class of 26 (of which I assume OP’s kid is one), because they applied to 9th grade when scores were worth the least (colleges were making noises like they’d all stay test optional forever, and private high schools were taking their pointers from Harvard’s arguments in the SFFA case), and they’re applying to college amidst the sudden return of test mandatory (in a year where it seems like even the colleges that stayed test optional are worried they’ll lose all their high-scorers to the test mandatory schools). Once college admissions settles down, the private high schools will again be better at picking the kids who the colleges will want four years hence, and everyone will go back to attributing the results to the private high schools.
