People won't switch to large publics for some shuffling in rankings for social mobility etc.

People were *already* favoring large public’s before these rankings came out. Sorry to burst your bubble.

But they can’t get into the Ivies, Stanford, MIT etc. anymore because those schools are getting more inclusive. So the parents start looking at Tulane, Wash U, Northeastern, Wake, Tufts, NYU, etc and tell themselves that they’re better than UVA, UMD, Tech, William & Mary, the UC schools and the better Big Ten schools just because they cost more. But they never were. Never. The new rankings reflect that reality.

Generally speaking, course availability and getting the classes you actually want each semester can be a big difference between the two.

Just as the experience at an independent HS is very different from that a large public HS. What some people will never understand (ahem, public school parents) is that parents who pay to send their kids to elite HS's aren't interested in having their with the masses at large public colleges, regardless of rankings.

Thanks for talking about the elephant in the room. Why would a parent send their kid to a private/independent school with its small class and individualized attention only to have them go across the country to attend classes with 500 other students at Berkeley or UCLA.

I dunno. But I see a lot of large colleges on the top private schools’ matriculation lists so somebody is. And many of the larger privates have pretty big intro classes too. By your logic, everyone should be going to liberal arts colleges.

I never said that or implied that (ever heard of a mid-sized university?). I did however look at top privates in NYC and it seems very few go to large publics in California (or elsewhere):

Holy grade inflation 😳
I just looked at the Trinity School link…NO students got a C??!

There also very few A+s. You obviously don’t know the school and the students that go there. It’s ridiculously intense.

It is "effects' not "affects'. You must have been educated at Private university and not some "large publics".

I went to a large public school in VA.
English is my 2nd language, so I still get mixed up with some vocabs and expressions.
I'm an engineer and not so good at language anyways, but thanks for the correction.
I'm sure you makes mistakes with your 2nd language as well if you have one.
