Although i would take caution, in that the majority of Public schools are amoung the best in thier state or sometimes country}}}}

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
