[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For Whitman - arguable one of the top 5 public schools in the country.  Billed as the best public high school in the area.

Yale - 17 applied - 1 got in
Harvard - 25 applied - 2 got in
Princeton - 22 applied - 2 got in

That is about the same as the broader admissions pool.

Not impressive and not the same as the Big 3.

Public schools parents rant as rave - save your money -- in this case - it appears money was saved and the results were nowhere near the same.[/quote]

LOL, so true!  And in some cases, money may not even have been saved.  I always laugh at the "save your money" people, who then go on to send their kids to schools where you have to buy an $800k+ home to even be in the boundaries to go there.  Hardly a "public" school...[/quote]

[b]You don't understand that buying an $800k house is "saving" (building equity) compared to writing tuition checks? To quote another recent poster, please take the free course on the benefits of home ownership.[/quote][/b]

Hi clueless poster- the point is not everyone can afford an 800,000 house that enables them to go to a top public school.[/quote]

Hey sweetie, not every house in the BCC or other districts costs $800k. In fact you can rent for much less in many places. But feel free to start a different thread on this if you need help stepping out of your bubble. Meanwhile, stop derailing with pointless asides like this one.[/quote]
