It depends which privates you’re planning to attend/apply. Andover, Exeter, St. Annes are really good. The really competitive boarding schools always send out a lot of Ivy’s. If you want to go to Ivy’s then, I suggest going to the raelly pretigious boarding schools or a prestigous private school.

Also, there’s the financial factor. Can you afford it, get aid, scholarships, etc.

Is your public school very prestigous. I know a lot of public schools that don’t get enough recognition for being competitive. So your public school may be competitive, but it might not be very well-known to colleges as a competitive school.

Look at your financial options, where you want to go to college, etc.
