[quote=Anonymous]Private school can be a huge boost to college admissions for a certain type of kid. In particular, a people (teacher) pleasing, smart, always do well enough to get as a decent student but not motivated to do more, etc type. That kid does to NCS and ends up top 25% and gets into UVA; that kid goes to Deal and ends up at Alabama. Some kids need a cohort to try. Other kids are completely different. There are hugely motivated pointy kids with a specialist area who probably do best coming from a public where they super stand out in that thing and there are fewer pointy kids competing for teachers’ attention.[/quote]
