[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How long ago was your experience? Asking because [b]conventional wisdom[/b] now is that college admission chances are better from public, so I was surprised to see your point about an advantage to schools that send 100% to college. [/quote] You drank too much public school koolaid. No one in my circle thinks this.[/quote] Public school kids who excel at activities and leaderships roles as well as high SAT and AP classes will be more desirable than private school kids with same numbers. That’s not hard to understand. Have any of you visited Harvard lately? Unless your student is at a top private school in Massachusetts or New York where they’re all located the odds aren’t any better than the top public school students. [/quote]
