[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thought this was interesting. Results from a New York City private school last year? Anyone know which school this is? Clearly 3.8 here would appear to be doing just fine https://www.reddit.com/r/ApplyingToCollege/s/6NODO2IldZ[/quote] "Trinity, Collegiate, Horace Mann and the like, on the other hand, are feeder schools because a large part of their success with college admissions comes from their name recognition and connections. Although their student bodies are undoubtedly successful too, [b]the average Stuy kid is undeniably smarter than the average top NYC private kid, but the average top NYC Private kid will probably go to a similar tier if not better college.[/b] Think of it this way. [b]37% of Trinity matriculated into the Ivy League alone. Adding in the rest of the T20 and the T5 LACs and you could be looking at 60-70% of the class. [/b]Now if you dumped those kids in a public school, would 60-70% of that crop be going to those schools? [b]Absolutely not. [/b]" - from another reddit post This here is the benefit of "certain" elite private schools. Will see if it holds this year in other regions.[/quote]
