[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] +100 - I do believe my DC has had an advantage in the college admissions process by being an above-average student at an 'average' high school, especially for admission to in-state universities. DC also didn't feel the stress that kids at the highly regarded supposedly feel, because there was not so much competition among the students, and has been able to enjoy the junior and senior years.[/quote] "Supposedly" is the key word here. I think you are conjuring up an image of certain schools that doesn't square with their reality. The counter-argument to what you've said would be that admissions directors at some schools are more familiar with the top-ranked schools, so a student attending one of those schools has an advantage over a similar student attending a school that is less well known with lower test scores. We'd need to see a lot of data to determine which of these theories really hold up. [/quote]
