It’s this. Your child is already.ready in the US system, just look at the top 3 kids in the grade. Compare them to the below median kids in the same grade. That’s the difference between Princeton and Penn State. [/quote]

Penn State

Percent in top tenth of high school graduating class
23%

Percent in top quarter
46%

Percent in top half
78%

There are more raw number of people in top 10% of high school class at Penn State than at Harvard.

Penn State main campus has 75%ile SAT of 1480, 
From 35% of studsents

So about 9% of the class has SAT 1480+. The class itelf is as big has 5.5 Princetons, giving half a Princeton's worth of 1480+ SAT at Penn State main campus.

The existence of nearby other students with lower academic achievement doesn't make the opportunity for higher achieving students lower.
