[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The goal posts are going to move many times for your DC. What Ivy League schools want always changes. Private schools have been an advantage in the past but then other times it was being URMs, then living in a low income zip code. Well rounded students were hot until pointy ones were. Test scores seem to be the most important thing this upcoming year but weren’t the past few years.

Making too many decisions with Ivy admissions in mind isn’t the way to go. [/quote]

I went to Ivy in the 90s, and half the kids were from private schools. Considering how few private schools there are compared to public, that was INSANE.

I was a rural admit (though I didn’t test well, NMSF).

But OP learn from my path: you want your kids to prepared well enough to succeed at an Ivy (or any college) not just get admitted to an Ivy. I was way way over my head coming from CowTown High.  Your kids will be fine, so focus on which school best fits them and challenges them now as prep for the future. [/quote]
