[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here's my question. What if your kid is not in the top 10% at these top private schools? My daughter is a terrific student, but there are at least 10-20 equally smart strivers in her class at a Big 3.[/quote] And all of them will get into great colleges. Maybe just not their or your first choice but some place where they can get an amazing education and meet people who will be their friends from life. The disappointment comes when people fixate on the one (or the Big 3) school that means everything to them. There are just no guarantees at that level. But it's pretty darned reliable that terrific students from well-regarded high schools get to go to excellent colleges. Their HS educations and achievements are by no means irrelevant. [/quote]
