[quote=Anonymous]just my experience but i went to a private high school in CT and went to Princeton. I found that I was INCREDIBLY burnt out by my high school's work load by the time I got to college. My peers who ended up in the same place went to so so high schools- some w/ a great school rates in the 3s and did just fine at Princeton, if not better than me and are now doing great career wise. I know for sure that my husband who went to a midwestern public school that is a 2 on great schools did just as well as me at Princeton (exact same GPA) and is a successful lawyer. I struggle with the idea of private vs public because I was so conditioned to think private was better growing up but I feel that its likely more about the parents and the person's own motivations.
