[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My take on this is that [b]high-end independent schools has a pretty good outing this year, [/b]which actually kind of surprised me. I thought all of the uncertainty re: affirmative action and test optional was going to cut the other way. In general, I think that most students take a small hit by going private, and they would actually do slightly better coming from most public schools if you are solely concerned with optimizing college prospects.[/quote] Very very true. It’s been a fabulous year with more Ivy admits than in the past 5 years for our school.[/quote] +1 Not a big 3 or 5–but DC private HS. My kid got into Ivy, 5% admit SLAC, UVA, Georgetown, etc with zero hooks. [/quote]
