[quote=Anonymous]My experience with watching the graduation stats at a big3 is that about 10% of the kids make it to an Ivy. However, I'd say that 95% of the kids at the big3 are really, really bright and work very hard. So that's a LOT of bright, impressive kids who are not getting into a top 10 school. Which means most kids from the big3 will be going to schools under the top 10 or top 20 or top 50. Which are exactly the type of schools that this kid (baseline very bright, hard worker) would end up in from most (or even any) publics. Our public is Wilson and I have no doubt whatsoever that my kid will not get an admissions bump from attending the big3. The kids at the 80% at the big3 are attending the exact same schools as those in the top 10% of Wilson. [/quote]
