[quote=Anonymous]I think the point is that there are no guarantees about where your kids will get in based on if they attend public or private high school. The top-tier colleges are incredibly difficult to get into. And if you dig deeper into the selection process at some of the top schools, you learn that it is completely out of your control. I was convinced of this after listening to the NPR story on the Amherst undergrad selection process. Being put in the "yes" pile could come down to something as silly as word choice in your essay. I think the approach to take is what 19:53 says. Focus on finding an amazing HS experience for your kid where they can start to find and develop their passions.[/quote]
