[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don't know why this is on the college board, it starts with local funding of schools. I got into a T-5 college and had high SAT scores and high grades in HS but was totally unprepared compared to the kids who had gone to private school or who were from Westchester/Morris/Fairfield/Montgomery/Fairfax counties. And I went to a "good" high school and had college-educated parents, kids from actual bad high schools or first-gen college students had no chance of success...[/quote] Academic performance is really just the most visible benefit of elite private K–12 education. There are a lot of less obvious things those schools instill as well—things you can’t pick up from textbooks or by grinding harder. And building that kind of edge takes a long time and largely impact by who you hang out with.[/quote]
