[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went to a top Ivy. The kids who really excelled there tended to be public school graduates. The private school graduates were more sophisticated as entering freshmen, but had less drive and a weaker work ethic. [/quote] I went to Harvard & totally disagree with this generalization. [/quote] I also went to Harvard. I found the private school kids to be well read, well organized, and a year older. Many were very hard workers. They had had, however, a lot of handholding to get where they were. The scary smart kids( junior Phi Beta Kappa, summa grads, Putnam winners etc.), were disproportionately public school kids. They had gotten to Harvard with much less handholding, a testament to their superbrains.[/quote]
