[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you out of area? Because i don’t know of any local ‘elite’ private schools with February acceptance dates? You can obviously have great college outcomes from public and private, but you’ll need to be top of the pack. If you’re getting a 3.9 at sidwell you’ll have great options. If you have an unweighted 3.9 from TJ you’ll have great options. If you have a 3.3 with no APs at either i don’t know if your options will be as good. I suspect (and am banking on) that profile doing better from private. [b]At least 50% of the graduating class at my kids’ privates go to schools I’d be thrilled with (ivy, SLAC, [/b]etc.). That’s not the case in public. All i think I’ve done with private is narrow the range of possibilities, but we chose the school for the fit, not for the college outcomes. [/quote] This 50% rule was important to us…..it why we chose our private.[/quote]
