[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does anyone think the rejections of top candidates is greater from privates? I wonder if they are skeptical of all the privilege and awards and internships, so much of which is just paid for. It's so much more impressive when a kid from a public can match the stats. I think that might explain some of the seemingly incomprehensible rejections.[/quote] I wonder this myself. But I don't think any private school student is being rejected bc of "privilege." I think it's because for the super reach-y STEM schools like Georgia Tech, MIT, Rice, CalTech, and Texas, the private schools generally aren't as strong in math as the magnets and the high performing public high schools. I'd be curious to see the data. Like I'm pretty sure Georgia Tech and MIT are going to look more favorably at schools like Stuyvesant, TJ, Poolesville, and even the Ws over the likes of GDS, St. Albans, Sidwell and similar.[/quote]
