The valedectorian at any public has the same chance at a top school as the Val from any private.

Been there done that and FYI

SAT/ACT scores trumps all of it. Those exams are the only determining factor in who gets in and who does not.




Ha. You wish sat/act was the tie breaker. Public val has a great shot but will get combined with pvt top 10 percent not the val. Publics also capped at one or two per school. Pvt get multiples into top schools. On the margin they will also take the kid that doesn't need grants.
