[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]High schools. If they go to a top private school, the chances they get into a T20 minus HYPMS is greater than a same person going to a public high school. [/quote] Agree. I also think there are more ways to differentiate yourself at a good private school. Super smart, high stats public kids get into top flagships but often not ivy. Imo, public kids kill themselves to take every AP and the transcripts for these top public kids all look the same. In contast, top privates have their own curated curriculum and do not offer AP - so kids go deep in advanced classes in select areas and add more interesting classes to their transcript which help display intellectual curiosity and rigor- and help differentiate the kid. This is just 1 piece of the puzzle.[/quote] This is very true. It’s all about standing out, being different, quirky or unique. Much easier to do with private school than public school.[/quote]
