[quote=Anonymous]I am from the Bay Area and what I can tell you from my experience is that the 5-10% top students at both the excellent (e.g. Gunn and the like) and the high quality independent privates do very well. Most, though not all will be accepted to a T20, assuming that is what they are trying for and that they have the EC's and character to match their GPA and scores. The difference I have observed is where the next 10% of the class is accepted. In the case of my DC's private school those students got into Northwestern, Johns Hopkins, Rice, Emory, Vanderbilt and Georgetown (none were legacies). That was not the experience of the kids from the public high school- [/quote]
