[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Assuming they get into Ivy...or are you saying that your child does not need to compete, it's a done deal?  Must be nice to know your child is going to an IVY, not based on intelligence, work ethic, test scores, etc.  Must be nice to live in your world. [/quote]

He's a legacy which means he'll get preference.  The legacy admit rate at the Ivy he'll apply to is 1:3 not 1:10 as for general admissions.  Does not mean he won't have to work.  FYI, grades and SATs for admitted legacies are higher than admitted non-legacies at our Ivy so it's not a cakewalk even for legacies.   We are also big donors (7 figures) which can't hurt.

So back on topic.  Yes, we chose a public charter for our child instead of private school.   Both DH and I attended private schools from K-12, college, grad schools.  So it depends on what the public school offers.  We love the diversity and inclusiveness as well as the immersion at Yu Ying.  Our child is very happy there.[/quote]
