[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This narrative about private school kids being at a disadvantage for college admissions has been getting spread far and wide in this area and I'd really like to see some nationwide data to prove this isn't just anecdotal, "how I feel" BS. [/quote] Yeah it just seems like it would depend on your kid and their circumstances. Like, if going to public results in you being the valedictorian, whereas at private you would have just been top 10% or something, then it's a boost. If going to public results in you being an average student and you would have also been an average student at a private, probably better off at the private where you can get admissions help and attention and opportunities for activities to help you stand out.
