[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I’ll add that the being able to “succeed in any major” ideal requires time management. I have said this before, but there are certain things that most day & boarding prep schools expect out of ALL their students that public schools do not. Mandatory 3 seasons of sports, mandatory public speaking, table manners, uniforms, showing up on time, no snacking or drinking in class, eating what’s served and learning how interact with adults (especially wealthy/successful/old ones) in the community are just some examples.

Lol op you must be a troll.  But just in case you’re not let me tell you my anecdata.  I attended both Emory and Harvard from a good public high school. 
Most students come from public schools no matter where you end up, but private school kids are not over represented in any hard majors.  
In fact, private school kids were generally slightly more likely to cheat, be spoiled and into drugs, probably because they are more rich and able to. 
Boarding school kids are very rare and often a bit odd, not resilient, and usually very unprepared for the rat race of any tough program.  
Most hard science majors and grads come from big public high schools.  
Private school kids tend to study obscure independent study type soft majors or film since they can count on their parents’ money in the future.

There are many great reasons to go to private school, op.  Especially depending on your family’s needs and child temperament.  But none of the ones you cited are real.  Here’s some actual data:
