lol. i was kidding. but in all seriousness you dont really want to attend the best school. the competition is too strong and you wont get recognition. it is actually smarter to go to a school full of dumb people and excel so you can attend a good college. you also have a better sob story,

personally i went to a top high school with a permit but it was annoying because there were kids who were getting a 4.5 gpa vs my 3.9. i think i finished my undergrad with a 3.7, but i had a buddy who barely made 3.0 but had a hs gpa of 4.3 in hs. he came from an urban hs with easy comp though.

“According to The Crimson, one out of every 20 Harvard freshman attended one of only seven high schools: Boston Latin, Phillips Academy’s Andover and Phillips Exeter, Stuyvesant High School in New York, Noble and Greenough School in Massachusetts, Trinity School in New York and Lexington High School in Massachusetts.”

You absolutely have a higher chance of going to a great college if you go to a great HS. It doesn’t hurt that they’re surrounded by a culture of academic discipline vs if you send your kid to an average school.

It’s always better to be a big fish at a little pond than an average fish in a big pond though.

Yeah, I’m sure all those average fish in the Harvard and Stanford ponds are really envious of the academic star at University of Texas.

#26

actually i think that might be the case. i am sure the average people prolly feel like failures and that they didnt live up to their hype and understand their limits. while the academic star feels like he is killing it and coulda ranked higher so the sky is the limit for him.
