Please note:

Expensive privates are where you'll meet the greatest concentration of parents who have been to Ivies.

Since universities have quotas for each school, it stands to reason that legacy kids will have better chances than non-legacy kids, everything else being equal. There are always more excellent students than there are spots.

Conclusion:

***If your kid is unhooked, attending a private is the worst thing you can do for selective college admissions!!! ***

But of course, your kid can attend to receive a stellar education. (Or attend a great public, and save money for college, retirement, etc.)

This. Top Private Schools in DC are no longer feeders in the sense that they used to be. For elective college admissions, get out and have your DC shine at a local public. For the effort they have to put into being at the top of their Big 3 Private, they will do very well at a Public as well, for sure. Better access to selective colleges after that.[/quote]

This just isn’t true and there are plenty, if not more, hooked kids in the W public schools.   Private school admissions isn’t as good as it was five years ago but still better than public high schools, especially when adjusting for the huge difference in class size.[/quote]
