[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our non-DMV private:

- 15% of class is committed to Ivy
- 50% is attending T25 or T5 SLAC (and closer to 65% if counting T10 SLAC)
- If counting T40, it’s 85%.

It’s a materially better year than last 2 cycles.

Test scores and HS caliber/rigor (not course rigor as we don’t even have official APs) seems to matter a lot. Plus private colleges want kids who will easily do well and thrive.

Plus you were able to screen out the undesirables through testing and interviews. So of course your results reflect the students you have.  [/quote]
+1 kids with the same high work ethic and high caliber stats in public also get into T10, especially from magnet schools.  It's just diluted because public HS grads are like 600+ kids per class.[/quote]

It's diluted because the biggest filter for private high school is a parent's ability to afford private high school. Among middle class and upper middle class kids, the ability to afford private college is also the biggest filter [/quote]

Yes, but that cuts both ways. Any college that likes ability to pay, can turn to private schools for better returns.[/quote]
