[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your kid’s shot at a T10 from either is going to be difficult even with perfect stats. At the top private, you will be competing against donors and even if your kid is a stronger student, the richer kid will take the spot from your kid. That doesn’t mean your kid won’t get into Cornell or Emory or other excellent school. I have kids at both public and private. I expect similar college outcomes for all my children.[/quote] Donors get special slots, we all agree. The problem you fail to recognize is that in DC, there aren’t donor class families even at private. We just don’t have that kind of money. BigLaw partners don’t qualify for the special donor class. It’s over a million at most of these schools we are all talking about. It’s not happening for 99% kids in DC — public or private. [/quote]
