[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I send mine because of the much higher expectations. He went to public school, got straights As for just showing up and handing work in. Ridiculously low expectations there. [/quote] Agree here. There are many smart kids in public but we found the expectations to be incredibly low. it worried us that EVERYONE got As. That's not a good thing for college admissions. Also, the only kids getting in to the Ivys from the DMV publics are legacy, URMs and athletes. It's the exact same story as privates. have you actually looked down the list of a large DMV public's admit and tracked the Ivy admits? i have. It's the same story as private. the exact same story. only legacies, URMs almost to a person. [/quote]
