[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your child actually has a better chance of being admitted to an elite college if he/she is one of the top students (in terms of grades) at a middling school than if he is a middling student at a top school.[/quote] Yes, but [b[u]]from what I've seen [/u][/b]the kids from the middling schools often struggle for a bit when they hit college, even the ones who were the "A" students in high school. the preparation for college level work just isn't the same.[/quote] What have you seen? Are you a college professor, an admissions director? Can you be more specific about what you have (actually)(with your own eyes) seen? RE ranking, ~meh~, who cares. Good enough is good enough, I don't need for my kids to be in the Best of the Best schools, so long as they are in good schools.[/quote]
