[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Roughly 40% of Ivy+ admissions goes to private school. There is literally research on this. Look it up. Obviously, your chances are better from private. Anyone with basic math skills understands this. [/quote] Ivies don't give merit aid, so you need to be really wealthy or have low enough income to get financial aid. There's a big donut hole around the middle class (sort of like private schools). Ivies also fill 10-20% of each class from the ED pool, which is basically families that don't care about financial aid. My kid went private for elementary but graduated from public, and went straight to one of the "top ivies" (gross term, but relevant here). We figure it was because (apart from DC's national-level achievement in an EC, good test scores, etc) DC applied ED and we were full pay. [/quote]
