[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread has managed to pose the following question in many different ways: "Is 15% of the class going to ivies good or bad?" Good or bad relative to what? The baseline always seems to be public school, whether this is phrased as "15% is higher than 5% (or whatever) from the W school" or "I'm paying $50k a year vs. free." What if you took public schools out of the equation. After all, many public school kids aren't even applying to college, or they're applying to places that will give them merit aid (the ivies don't) or better FA. And sunk costs (that $200k for high school) are sunk costs, as we all learned in econ 101. So the new question, stripped of useless comparisons, stands alone: is 15% going to the ivies good or bad? And why?[/quote] Since it is probably less than 5 percent of the unhooked kids, I would contest the "15%" question...[/quote]
