LOL.  and college admissions have changed dramatically in the last four years.  Currently, public kids ARE getting in to top colleges more easily than privates because of the anti-elitism, DEI, URM, minority, etc. push of the elite university and college institutions.  So, while the private system worked for HER, currently, you will see most private counselors will say that statistically the great public student has an edge over the great private student[/quote]

It is not that public school kids “have an edge over private school students.” Historically, public school students were kept out of the running - not invited to the table. When colleges made test score optional, students who were academically ready but test poor (certain minority groups for a variety of reasons) felt invited to the table for the first time.

Many public school kids had never participated in the Ivy/T20 school process. Now that that are, you call it an “edge.” Nonsense. It’s an “opportunity” - one that they should have had all along. They places are rightfully theirs. It is called equity. [/quote]
