Wrong

And private schools do not have better admissions rates than public

Maybe for Catholic school to catholic school that’s it.

I have heard this from another friend who is an admissions counselor in another state. Private to private is more of an advantage.

Also people complaining about counselors. My DS went to multiple high schools and still got detailed letters from multiple counselors. Don’t blame the counselors.
