[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is all super helpful.

The more I read, think and crunch the data/fees, I am inclined not to have my child apply / enroll at large public Flagships. For the out-of-state tuition prices, I just don’t think it’s worth it - with the limited amount of undergrad focused resources. The value isn’t there for me.

If you think your kid needs a bit more handholding, undergrad resources, student-centric staff, administration, and programming, are the schools listed above the ones we should be focusing on? Are there any others? How do we figure out the “spend” per undergraduate student?

Profile: private school senior girl, full pay, non-DMV. Humanities major, top GPA stats/rigor + high test scores. Looking for social, friendly schools with attention from faculty.

Any and all advice appreciated.

I think you're asking two separate things. Your first question was [b]schools that take a disproportionate number of students from private high schools.[/b] Your second question was schools that offer more support/hand holding/advising. The schools in both those lists might overlap, but it isn't the same thing.[/quote]

I could be wrong but I’d assume schools with larger % of private HS kids would offer more of these handholding, robust freshman/undergrad focused services? That these types of students would gravitate towards these schools?

Is that wrong?[/quote]

not necessarily. Private school is going to correlate with the ability to pay more than with the need for hand holding. Some times the two overlap, but not always [/quote]

What exactly is handholding in this context?[/quote]
