<p>I didn't quite know which forum is most appropriate for my question, so I put it in this one since it probably has the most traffic - </p>
<p>What role does the selectivity/prestige of your high school play in the admissions process?</p>
<p>For example, I'm from a public high school (North(of Dallas) Texas) that has never sent anyone to an Ivy. How do I compare to someone that has gone to a private school with a high number of the graduating class attending Ivies?</p>
