[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My brother did this for my nephew. He was a B student at a really rigorous k-12 school. He attended that school k-8 then sent him to a underperforming, diverse, high school that had strong athletics. My nephew became captain of his sports team and played varsity for three years. He graduated with a 4.0 and got into better colleges than his friends from his former school who were B students, athletic, and performed academically the same - they also had similar test scores. 
With the money my brother saved from not paying for private school he spent on tutoring writing, math, and science to make sure my nephew would do well in college. [/quote]

I believe there is a recent thread in which an African American got into Harvard and his Dad did this maneuver.  The kid's senior year he went to a crappy school but was the high school president and also I believe quarterback or something like that on the football team.  His scores and academics were solid from the previous better school.[/quote]
