<p>Is applying ED from a parochial school more of an advantage or disadvantage? I know Brown takes about 10% from parochial schools each year, so I didn’t know if being a strong candidate and from a parochial school applying ED would help or hurt</p>
<p>It doesn’t matter if the school is parochial, independent, public, whatever. What matters is the challenge of the curriculum offered, and whether you took the hardest courses available to you.</p>
<p>It’s an elite Catholic school, where everyone takes the same courses.</p>
<p>In the end, I think it is the student who gets into a college, not the HS from which he/she came. I would not consider your HS an advantage or disadvantage in this matter. </p>
<p>For the record, my own kid attends Brown and came from an unknown rural public HS.</p>
