<p>I would be concerned about the college advising if the students in my daughters high school didn’t know about or apply to schools out side their area
My daughters public inner city school, also has teh most AP classes of state public schools, and has comparable numbers of NMS to Lakeside.
THey send many kids to Ivies and other competitive schools every year.
While I appreciate the opportunity my daughter has to take advanced courses, it also concerns me when I hear students making judgements about universities they know little about, because they don’t have the “name” of the east coast schools, & when students talk about taking this or that course because that teacher is an easier grader, even though he requires less work.
I can see where they are coming from though, lately even the state colleges are so competitive that students with decent grades with a college prep transcript from a private school aren’t being accepted to even the lower tiered universities.
Has put the parents of rising juniors into shock let me tell you!</p>
