| all private school kids?
i've heard that almost all Colgate students went to prep schools or private schools for high school?

68% public, 32% private - Class of 2010, according to the Colgate website. 2009 was just about the same.

Haven't seen that stat, but suspect the ratio is pretty much the same. Another question for the admissions office!

There aren't stats for that i don't think but i would say it is about half and half. Although i would take caution, in that the majority of Public schools are amoung the best in thier state or sometimes country. Many kids went to small very good public schools.

Why would the % be much different than the 70% public/ 30% private stats of accepted students published on the college website?

I do believe that there are probably more public school kids here but i think fewer come than got in...it is just how it works out.

The majority of h/s of Colgate’s enrolled class are not from the best in the country or state. Sure, some are, but not a *vast majority* Colgate’s accepts a vast number of students from every type of h/s imaginable.
Why would you discourage some poor jr looking at, or seriously considering, Colgate b/c they might believe their chances of admission are greatly diminished ( in your opinion) b/s they didn’t attend “one of the best h/s in the country”
And who decides what h/s is the best? Newsweek? The NW rankings are totally flawed. Newsweek doesn’t include magnet schools e.g. Stvy or Boston’s Latin school. I 'd love to see the criterion you used for your assertion
