[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son is a good student, not perfect. I am not trying to get him into an ivy, more like T20-T50 school. It seems like most kids from private (>50%) attend good schools. Would his chances of getting into a good college be better from a private school? We are also not looking at Big 3 privates. Will likely be looking at Bullis, Landon or similar.[/quote] NP. Haven’t read rest of the thread. Your question is that it depends on the type of school. Large state flagships with requirement to take a certain percentage from public - public is better. 2nd tier public - doesn’t matter. Large competitive private university - private is better but not by a huge margin SLAC - private is better. Less competitive LAC - doesn’t matter[/quote]
