[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]can work against you. Too many type A parents think if they buy a house in "the Best" district, their kid will be at an advantage. Same goes for Specializes HSs, the pool of kids is very hard to compete against, and you may or may not know, top colleges evaluate apps BY SCHOOL. So if 30 kids from the same HS apply to Harvard, they are all compared against each other. The same kid who did extremely well, but not tops, could have lived 10 miles away in a "mediocre" SD, and had much better odds. [/quote] You poor baby. Either you keep starting the same thread every few weeks or you are awfully late the party. Parents are always going to prefer high school with strong peer groups over the alternative, and the top high schools, public and private, send a lot more kids to good schools than the lower tier schools. Enjoy Montgomery College. You are about as far removed from giving meaningful advice about Ivy admissions as one could be.[/quote]
