[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Private school helps if you want to end up at private college , esp mid range (eg Tulane, BU, Emory etc) 
Private school does not help if you want to get into tippy top (unless your kid is #1-#5 at the school). [b]If your kid is #20, they will discourage you from applying to HYPSM because it might hurt the top kids chances.[/b]

Public school is great if your kid would otherwise be upper middle of the road at private but can be the top in the public.

Yes but much much much easier to get into these schools from a private HS if full pay:
Cornell, U Chicago, Dartmouth, Vanderbilt, Wash u, Emory, Georgetown, Rice, CMU, USC, NYU, BC, Tufts,[/quote]

But then ask yourself, would my kid have gotten in to these schools from public anyway? Probably, yes. And saved a boatload of money in high school which can go towards the college or grad school [/quote]

Def don’t think they would have gotten in from a very competitive stem focused public.

My kid non-stem. Private worded out great - I’d be pissed if the outcome was Pitt or Wisconsin. 
It’s a private T20.

But you do what works for you.[/quote]
