[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]College matriculation at our private is still much better than our local public schools.  This may not be the case if your local public is a “W” school but probably that parity has existed for a long time.  [b]Colleges are less interested in umc white or Asian kids generally,[/b] it is not specific to private schools.[/quote]

That must be why selective schools are majority Black, Latino, and poor.

Oh. Wait.[/quote]

Our son was accepted at Duke and Brown. Currently at a public school many of you wouldn’t let your kids near. He did not get financial aid (190k) and we didn’t get merit so he is going to UMD with significant merit. Want to point out that there aren’t a lot of black and brown kids at selective schools because we can’t afford it. It’s unfortunate because we thought that being black and first gen college combo would be favorable but it wasn’t for those 2 schools. They didn’t care but UMD is giving him a chance.[/quote]

Congrats! It's more about fit and economics than anything else. [/quote]
