[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes my kid went to a top three and went to and Ivy.  Yes, got there on her own speed.  Would have had the same result anywhere.  [/quote]

No doubt.  Did she ever mention that she valued her many writing-intensive classes at her private school?  That's what I hear most often -- it's about the preparation and that boils down to lots of writing because of small class sizes.[/quote]

Yes, she valued the writing intensive courses, although she would not put it that way.  English and history were very good.  Science and math less so but still good.  She got an overall great education.  She would have gotten to the same place without her private.  100% sure of that. That was the question.

Tuition at a big 3 is around 37k.  How much tutoring in writing will that pay for?  Quite a bit I should think.  js[/quote]

Well, it's sad you don't seem to value her secondary school education from the school she attended.  Did the tuition keep you from buying stuff you wanted?  Seems like an odd case of buyers' remorse.[/quote]
