[quote=Anonymous]"Ignorant" was harsh (I'm not the PP who said that), but statements like this (especially from parents wondering what could have been which was the scenario OP presented) generally strike me as wishful thinking. The average just isn't THAT strong at local privates; nor is the top that weak at most local publics (except consistently low-performing ones). I am willing to believe that sometimes the valedictorian of a good local public would only have been top 10 of a top local private (or vice versa). Realistically, the trade-offs are more incremental AND which private vs. which public is the crucial question. [/quote]
