[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But as other threads have pointed out don't 50% to 70% of the TTs end up at a T25 or better? What is that percentage at even top publics, maybe 15% to 20%. Doesn't this imply that something like 2/3 of the public either don't care or aren't aiming for a top college? This implied proportion seems awfully high. [/quote] TTs have a ton of filtering mechanisms to ensure their students are disciplined studiers, children of major donors, and other signals someone is a prospect for a strong college outcome. Even though it is expensive to live in a good public district, it is nowhere near the same filtering mechanism. Don't be so sure your kid will be in the top 50% or even 70% at a TT, there are tons of kids getting tutoring and giving it their all[/quote]
