[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wouldn't it be great if some top private schools would try to educate close to the number of students top public places like Michigan and Cal do though? Yes, their acceptance rates would be higher but society as a whole would benefit and they can certainly afford to do it.  [/quote]
The bottom 10% at T25 privates are better than corresponding at Umich, Berkeley, and UCLA. And that's the problem with publics, they're forced to dip too low. [/quote]

Except the bottom 10% at top publics might excel in other endeavors in which they are world class like athletics, fine arts, and performance.  The bottom 10% includes 3,000 students as compared to to 600.  With all the legacies at so called T25 private schools, I’m not so sure you can even make that claim about academic superiority.

What makes you think publics don't have legacy students? [/quote]

“Private colleges are more likely to use legacy status than public schools. According to a 2018 Inside Higher Ed survey, 42% of admissions directors at private schools say their institutions consider legacy status, while only 6% of directors at public schools report doing the same.”[/quote]
