[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A lot of people are casting doubts on private school kids being better prepared. I saw it with my own eyes at the T10 I attended from a public high school (I think it's a 3 on greatschools right now). It was most noticeable in writing. Less so in math, where the real standouts tended to come from public magnets. I didn't know about the tippy top, but in the top of the middle of the pack, private school kids were overrepresented.[/quote] Also, private school kids were more confident about speaking in class and presenting, more apt to use office hours. Again only on average, at the margins, and other disclaimers, but the effect was noticeable.[/quote] OP here, this as well. [/quote]
