[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Private school doesn't mean your kid has better odds for admission... it can work the other way. Grades can be inflated to appease the parents shelling out tuition money, and colleges want kids that aren't privileged in every way. Good luck to your kid, I just find the private school call out annoying.[/quote] Disagree. We've been in both public and private; the difference in college results are night and day. Saw so many top score/grade public kids including valedictorians shut out of T10/15 schools. Coming from a good public, you really need a 4.0, ranked top 2%, incredible ECs like winning national awards or more to stand out. Coming from a respected private that is not known to colleges to grade inflate, if you have a 3.75 GPA and 1500+ SAT, you're in good shape for T25 schools as a baseline. If you have 3.85+ GPA, 1550+ SAT and have some interesting ECs, you can get into a T10 if you ED. [/quote]
