[quote=Anonymous]My kid is at a NYC competitive public.  I think the top privates always have an advantage b/c so many talented kids attending the top public schools and the private schools are simply smaller and since schools only take so many kids from one school it makes admissions somewhat harder.  That being said, the colleges trust and know that grading is hard (I assume to be honest NYC specialized schools have less grade inflation than top privates) and all the kids take standardized test (don’t know any of kids friends who did not submit).  And despite maybe slightly better outcomes from private schools, my kid and her friends are all going to amazing schools.  One of her friends going to an in-state public top engineering school but everyone else headed to T25/Top 5 SLAC.  I don’t think college outcomes would have been much different for these kids if they had attended a $60k/year private or from their public.  They have received also received an amazing education (albeit not personalized but also not coddled which may be a good thing).[/quote]
