“How competitive your high school may or may not be is not really much of a factor in admissions.”

Are you joking? It makes a huge difference. Getting a 1500 SAT at a school where the average SAT is 950 is ALOT more impressive than getting that 1500 at a school where the average SAT is 1350. Also, being valedictorian at a top private prep school looks much better than being the valedictorian of your average public.
