<p>So glad you performed a sound statistical study on this matter before making assumptions, cnmpsyd.</p>
<p>Anyway, I hate to pull the “I worked in admissions” card but, seriously, the OP’s assertion is ridiculous. The difference between the ratio of private admits vs. the ratio of public admits is small. People are getting rejected from all sorts of high schools.</p>
<p>At my private school, students were given a boost in UF admissions because of the high school’s perceived difficulty. Universities know about HS’ reputations. </p>
<p>It’s about the YIELD RATE. Now rant about that all you want. </p>

<p>We can’t win with anybody. Well, hopefully we will on the field this year…</p>
