Most people I knew in high school who went to college attended large private schools, like my alma mater Boston University, and most high school students I know today attend private schools as well. We have had vastly different experiences. And maybe I’m wrong, but I would guess the average College Confidential poster/reader, while having state schools on their list, is aiming for the top 50 colleges. After all, why does CC even exist? I highly doubt it’s because kids are all in a panic to get into a state school!</p>
