Will going to private school effect my chances of attending an Ivy League or other elite University?

No… I’m suggesting that the disproportional amount of hooked kids, plus academic or talent superstars at privates is a huge factor in their disproportional positive results at top schools. So it’s not all about legacy and money asany think, although that is a part of it too - but I would say a much smaller part. The talent pool at prep schools is deep.
