<p>So I've seen on a few threads post that claim that people from private schools do better in college, more specifically the ivy league schools, than people from public schools. Apparently this is due to a more "rigorous curriculum". This just means that they have more AP's at their disposal, so they the ability to take more right? Is this transition difficulty more related to the public school student who could only take 2/3 aps per year or all public school students. I'm currently taking 6 aps (Calc ab, chem, bio, lit, psych, physics b, and H spanish 4) and im breezing through them. All A+s with the exception of Ap lit B+. So i'm, wondering if the transition for public school students like me will be akin to that of a private school kid or if i'm at a disadvantage and in for an awaking( accepted to columbia college( btw misunderstanding about seas)).</p>
<p>My kids’ public school district offers the ability to take a VERY rigorous curriculum. They’ll be able to handle whatever workload their eventual colleges foist on them. If you’re used to top level courses in HS, you’ll be fine. It’ll be unlikely you’ll be the most accomplished student in any of your classes – but hey, isn’t that why you’d want to go to a super selective college anyway? Forget the public/private thing. It’s not such a hard and fast rule. </p>
