[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Don’t listen to the negative stuff on this board. I went to a meh HS in a small town and I had several class mates that were successful at highly ranked colleges (including myself). I don’t remember any who flunked out. I could tell that the kids from New England boarding schools had a better educational foundation than I did, but they weren’t smarter.

It is true that the answer to your question isn’t going to tell you as much as you might think, due to economic differences. I’m the one who posted above about the valedictorian at our small town school who is attending Hopkins, but the salutatorian is attending the (not super highly ranked) state flagship because she got a full ride (as in books, stipend, the whole enchilada). That’s hard to pass up if your parents aren’t wealthy. [/quote]
I'm rural Illinois PP. I agree with this 100%. Sure there was culture shock (I hate that I now have to know what "Choate" and "Quogue" and "Gstaad" are) but it was fine.[/quote]
