[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our kids went to public schools but many, many of my colleagues send their kids to Sidwell, NCS, STA, GDS, etc.  I know from who I know that many of the families attending these schools not only Ivy League legacies but are also extremely well connected.  I have no doubt that these connections play a major role in the college admissions process.  So, while I may know nothing about the ten Sidwell kids going to Yale, you are never going to convince me that the majority did not have any kind of family connection or hook.

As for those who lament the small number of public school graduates attending top colleges, the question is really "what is a top college?"  There are many more top colleges than Harvard or Yale.  Any school in the top 50 in US News provides a top notch education and opportunities of a lifetime.  And what you'll find, as we have, is that 10 years after high school your Harvard classmate and your Maryland classmate are more likely than not to be doing the exactly same thing and making the same money.

Relax, everybody.      [/quote]

Thanks for keeping it in perspective. [/quote]
