[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DC is at an Ivy and there aren’t that many Black and Latinos. They count Asians in their minority numbers and the rich international minorities. What there a lot of is rich boarding or prep school kids.

At DC’s school 40% of the freshman class was from private school yet only 10% of students attend private school in this country.

The reason the representation of private school kids is so high is because, on average, their numbers are much higher and their ECs are much stronger than those of public school kids.[/quote

Really baiting the public school boosters with this one.[/quote]

Yeah. Mine is public school and has way stronger ECs than most of the private posters who got into top schools and posted stats. Mine also got into top schools,  so we're good, but I think the ppp has it backwards.  Public kids have better stats, ECs and awards. Private kids have institution recognition/relationship, better counseling and are more likely to be legacy.[/quote]
