[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are in the same position with one 1 in private and 1 in APS. I will say that your kid will be a dime a dozen at WL and the college app process will be worse than being in a smaller private. You'll have 50-100 kids applying to the same school as your kid as opposed to private... and you'll get more individual attention for the college process at a private. APS does pretty much nothing but send you webcasts to view to prepare for college apps.[/quote]

Not going to comment on the idea of chances being lower from public (which is what you are saying) but many families in public pay a private college counselor and bonus, you pick someone you want who is a good fit for you not who your school employs.  You can pay for the whole process to be supported or just out source some parts of it.  Still a hell of a lot cheaper than private school.[/quote]
I am the PP with the similar stat kid and this is my plan[/quote]

Be careful who you choose because majority of these college counselors don’t have actual relationships with many of the schools. Not like a private school counselor and many cases does. Some of them claim to have “relationships“ but really they’re just looking at the kids stats to see where they think they’ll get in and help with essays. [/quote]
