Ahem.

getting in from an average public school.

In some ways, it’s easier, because it’s much easier to have a higher class rank at an average public school than a tough private school.

I you’re in the bottom half at the elite private school, it’s not goingto be easy getting into a great college (of course, “great” is a relative term, but by great. I mean, “more selective”)

Private school kids don’t really have much of an advantage in the college app processs. They get college counselers, but they don’t really do much and anyways you can hire your own without a private school.
