Can you tell which students attended private prep high schools versus those with a public high school background ?

I am familiar with private day & boarding schools throughout the nation and would be shocked if graduates lacked the skills and maturity noted above by several posters.[/quote]

That is not something a professor would know or ask (or care about). [/quote]

why do you think professors know your kid's HS?[/quote]

My kid’s professors know his high school because some of them have sent their kids there. [/quote]

Hit sent too soon. Plenty of kids wear stuff with their HS on it. [/quote]

I doubt it... Who knows all these random high schools anyway? Many professors at top schools are new immigrants and can't relate to any of that.[/quote]

So you don't know of any private high schools in the ares you live? Doubt it. [/quote]

I have heard of some private schools here but don't know in detail which ones are the most prestigious. I have heard of Sidwell, Maret (sp?) and some Cathedral school. I believe they are good but I am not sure whether they are secular or co-ed.

Like a lot of people, we moved to DMV from another area, where we moved from another area. Before we had kids, we paid zero attention to school. Besides, aren't kids in college going to be coming from all over the US? How many students and faculty are going to be familiar with schools in your area? Are you familiar what the best high schools (private - or public) are, in, I dunno, Cincinnati or even San Francisco? Maybe you are, but that is not going to be common. There are so many schools all over.[/quote]
