[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My twins probably got a better education at their top private, but their college admissions suffered compared to our local public.[/quote]

How do you know if that?

Colleges will only offer so many slots to each school.  If you have only smart kids and there are 100 kids per grade, its a lot of competition and they are only going to offer so many slots.[/quote]

:roll: If you don't get into an Ivy, you go to Vandy or Duke. If you don't get into Duke, you go to Boston College, Georgetown, UVA or Michigan and you're at the very top of the academic and social (top tier fraternity/sorority) pecking order. Georgetown Prep and Sta boys are not "mixing" with low born peers in Charlottesville. This notion that smart private school kids end up at crummy colleges with the unwashed masses because there is a harsh private school quota is a public school old wives' tale. Complete nonsense you trolls wish was true.[/quote]
