[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Public schools often do a better job in college admissions than privates. Spend extra money on tutors and extracurricular academic programs which will be a tiny amount compared to private school. Your kids will be top dogs at the public and have great college options, including for merit aid. Focus on math, writing, and science tutoring. Everybody wins and you can still save for college and retirement.[/quote] This is inaccurate in my experience. Public schools do not do better in college admission. Not by a long shot. My kids graduated with 4.7 GPA, so many APs, leadership, ACT of 35 and ended up at a state college. I’m just not sure what you mean. College advising is essentially not offered. In the well regarded public schools here, it is much more difficult to stand out as a superstar academically. [/quote] Asian or white male. these are run-of-the-mill stats.[/quote]
