[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think what these feeder high schools have in common is that they are very selective to begin with. Philips Exeter rejects 86% of the students who apply and accepts just 14%. Of those 14% top students who are invited to attend, they get to engage in a wonderfully deep and challenging curriculum that was developed for their students (unlike generic College Board APs). It's no wonder they send a far higher rate of kids to Princeton etc. The kids are smart and talented to begin with, and then they spend 4 years at a terrific school being challenged alongside very motivated and bright peers.[/quote] Then why an 18 page thread about how apparently attending public school purportedly places applicants at a competitive advantage? https://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/1270900.page[/quote]
