[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DC attended what many of you on this forum would consider a second-tier, local private school and thrived there. DC now attends a university which all of you on this forum would consider the very top tier. It matters not so much where you attend school, as what you make of the school you attend and the education you receive.[/quote] Our high school senior attended a similar private school, but I do believe that attending private in DC's case was helpful in many ways. DC was not that assertive in earlier years, and probably would have been a bit lost in a larger public school, even if DC did well in classes. The smaller private made it easier for DC to find opportunities -- extracurricular and academic -- in middle school that set DC up well for high school and go from there. By senior year, the college counselors knew DC very well and that probably also helped with the college admissions. [/quote]
