[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is your DC applying from an elite private school?[/quote] It's been drilled into us over and over (even here on dcum) that[b] public school kids have an advantage over private school grads generally in college admissions.[/b] Why is midd different?[/quote] Is this true? Anyone? I was not aware of that. More I think of it, I don't think it is true.[/quote] This statement may be a bit of an over generalization. You can look at the admissions stats at each of the SLACs which do show the percentage of public v. private. Now, the case of Middlebury, the private is a tad on the high side. But, e.g., if you look at Williams you'll see that the public is indeed higher. That may because Williams has made a determined effort to shake the old WASPY New England prep school image (and many argue they have indeed done just that...)[/quote]
