[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is not that simple some kids are not going to be motivated to go to college by publics.[/quote] My DCs public school typically has 25-30 going to Ivy League schools and many many more going to top colleges. My public school DC is applying to much more competitive colleges than I did as a big 3 grad. The counseling is pretty hands off compared to private schools yet the kids still do extremely well in admissions. [/quote] Urban myth. Not even top preps have that many.[/quote] NP here. Actually, not urban myth. Public schools have larger classes, so it stands to reason that more kids go to top colleges. Columbia alone accepted 12 from DC's MoCo public this year, although maybe half will matriculate there. I don't know if my kid is at the same MoCo public as PP's, or how kids at other MoCo publics are doing.[/quote]
