[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are a disproportionate number of private school students at elite colleges/universities. BUT that's because there are a disproportionate number of extremely wealthy and/or famous families are private schools. If you're an upper middle class unhooked student, your odds at a private are not different from your odds at a public school. The private school kids who get into elite colleges/universities are almost all hooked -- children of famous and extremely rich families, recruited althetes, and URMs (with overlap in these categories. For regular smart kids, it's better to stay in public.[/quote] I disagree with this based on my kid’s friends at both public and private. I would say my kid’s private school friends were happier with college choices than public kids. But it is also a vast generalized hypothetical, so hard to know. [/quote]
