[quote=Anonymous]I suspect the distinctions are not constant across student profiles. For example, it may be that the very top students at public and private have relatively equally shots at the top Ivy schools, Stanford, and MIT. My sense is that where kids at the top privates really get a benefit is in the middle of the class, especially if they are applying to SLACs. E.g., decent -- but not very top -- students at Sidwell, GDS, and Cathedral schools are getting to schools -- e.g., most NESACs (Middlebury, Wesleyan, Colby, etc.), Haverford, Colgate, etc. -- whereas kids at even the top publics need to be near the to for those schools.
