[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve got kids in public and private. Here’s what I’ve noticed in matriculations between the two. Obviously anecdotal regarding competitive admissions and just trends I’ve observed, not presenting this as universal truths.

- First hurdle for admissions are the peers from your school who also applied.

- Top public school students have access to ivies (hooked or unhooked). Same with top private students, although it appears a hook here is maybe more necessary because of the strong and privileged peer pool.

- Top SLACS appear to prefer private school kids.

- Top publics (particularly OOS) might edge toward public school kids.

- [b]It looks like unhooked private school kids might have an edge with non-ivy privates. From my kid’s public, admissions to these schools appear mostly driven by sports (hooks).

What schools are these?
Duke? Vandy? northwestern? Rice?[/quote]

This makes sense to me. Based on what I’ve seen in privates.[/quote]

No, not from my kid's Big3.  The kids getting into these schools all have HYP stats (basically 3.9 and above). [/quote]

At end of day it depends on if your CCO is brokering or not….
Some will broker for spots.

Good private CCO will get 35-40% or more of class into these schools. That’s a sign of a great CCO![/quote]

Non-DC private school parent. Agree with this.

Our college team definitely “brokers” to find/get spots. Doesn’t happen much at ivies [/quote]

We are at Potomac and have been told they do not broker well unless you are a VIP[/quote]
