[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Been told by our college counselor that this year colleges are turning away from selecting most private high school kids because of their privileged education. That you now have a better chance coming from a public high school with good grades and top scores and activities. There’s no advantage anymore paying more money for private. None at all.

So for those of you looking to go private, don’t waste your money. Your private school kid, despite top gpa and test scores, will probably will be bumped in favor of someone from a good public school.

Regrets, regrets, regrets…[/quote]

Maybe you need this reminder (I did): it’s not where they go to college it’s what they do when they get there that matters. Look around you, haven’t you noticed that many of the state school kids are doing just as well if not better than the Ivie kids? It’s not where you go to school that matters. It’s who you are. It’s how hard you’re willing to work.

We sent our kids to private because we had a disappointing experience at public school, especially during COVID. Once in private, our  kids blossomed and have continued to grow in ways we never thought possible. They may not go to T20 colleges, but it has still been the best investment I’ve made as a parent. They are kind and thoughtful, confident and hard working - I owe so much to the private school that helped us raise them.
