[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow, pp....that's a big risk. Guidance counselors at private high schools have zero pull. The kids from most privates who get into top tier schools either had the test scores or they are legacies. Your kid would have a better shot getting into a top college if he was a shining star somewhere...anywhere. And admittedly it's tough to shine at Wooton or Whitman, but perhaps a tad bit easier at another public school.[/quote] Guidance counselors at private high schools have zero pull? I suppose one could go round and round on that one. Impossible to quantify. I can only say that at our private Big-3 school, the bottom half kids all seem to end up at the same schools where the top 20 percenters at the public schools end up. I also know for a fact these college placement directors have a direct connect to admissions folks at many schools.[/quote]
