[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For HYP, I agree that the public school route may be more advantageous given supply and demand conditions.  But beyond that, the top private schools do better.  It makes sense.  A mid-range student at one of the elite privates, would probably be getting close to straight As at a public, where the students are much less accomplished, and would have received a better education.  The AVERAGE SAT at the very top privates is 2100+.  That suggests the average student at those schools would have been a stellar student at even a good public.  The colleges know this and act accordingly.[/quote]

?? You are saying they would get a better education in public? Also disagree that private kids would get As in public. Private US includes breaks, advisors, sports, late starts, accessible teachers, nutritious meals....All things being equal with student profile, it is MUCH easier to succeed at a Big 3 than in a highly regarded public. And I haven't even gotten started on the negative vibe at publics, social elements, etc. Private sets kids up to succeed - it's hard to screw up. That's one key reason people pay to go to private.
