This looks inline with what I have seen too.  Of course, you are going to get a group here saying that the private students have a “hook” because their parents went to elite colleges, they are affluent, a URM, or otherwise have an advantage.  The URM argument is particularly illogical since that group is MUCH more prevalent in public school settings but the kids do patently worse.  I personally think the different is that having to make financial sacrifices to attend a school forces a higher level of accountability than you see in the typical public school. It comes at a cost, but again - it’s a personal choice.[/quote]
