[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you’re a T50 alum and your child is competing with five other legacies in generic private versus zero legacies in generic public, then I believe your chances are better in public.[/quote] This, but in APS, MCPS, and FCPS most HSs are not “generic”, because they have lots of parents who are Ivy or T20 alums. The Ivy or T20 placement numbers from any school are HEAVILY impacted by students with hooks (legacy, recruited athlete, recruited musical skills, etc). An unhooked student will have very different admissions prospects than a hooked student from the same HS (private or public). [/quote]
