[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Private school helps if you want to end up at private college , esp mid range (eg Tulane, BU, Emory etc) Private school does not help if you want to get into tippy top (unless your kid is #1-#5 at the school). [b]If your kid is #20, they will discourage you from applying to HYPSM because it might hurt the top kids chances.[/b] Public school is great if your kid would otherwise be upper middle of the road at private but can be the top in the public. [/quote] Yes but much much much easier to get into these schools from a private HS if full pay: Cornell, U Chicago, Dartmouth, Vanderbilt, Wash u, Emory, Georgetown, Rice, CMU, USC, NYU, BC, Tufts,[/quote] These are the schools. Plus some lower ranked ones (Tulane; Wake; etc) and SLACs[/quote] ...for kids in which grade distribution? top 20%? 3.7+?[/quote]
