[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I keep reading the refrain that the odds are longer coming from public, and I’m curious why that is the perception. DS applied to private into 9th this past year and had good acceptances. He got into 3 of his top 4 choices. Not an athlete or magical ECs. Good grades and test scores.[/quote] It's not a perception. All other things being equal, privates give priority to kids coming from private schools, because they are in the system. It is unusual for a lifelong private school kid to end up in public school. Their last private will lobby hard for them to be accepted at a private somewhere, even if it isn't their first choice. [/quote]
