^^^^Totally agree with above, a friends brother went to a top level private HS, his friends opted to stay in the local high school.All of them were of equal talent ability, the one that went to the more difficult school was not at the top when he finished, the others that stayed were top of the top. The acceptances the public got were all Ivy and multiple acceptances, the one that went to the tougher, still had high SATs but not the course rigor, too many qualifications to do AP/research, the other kids easily got at the public. The transfer got waitlisted at NYU, going CC for a transfer next year.
