[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another private school benefit during the college application process is that many schools/counselors have a long history with many of the top schools. An admissions officer at a top 15 LAC also revealed to me that the private school applicants (sorry I don't know what happens at public schools) basically get a certain number of points added to their admission profile/score based on the known rigor, etc. of their school. [/quote] Some public schools, but not all, also get points added for known rigor. This is true for magnets, although I have no idea where the line gets drawn between, say, Whitman and other public high schools. I think, although I don't know, that not all private schools would get rigor points. Some colleges take this even further and apply their own proprietary weighting systems to the individual classes on your kid's transcript.[/quote]
