advantageous of private schools

liz

well iver heard that universities prefer you to got to a public school as people get better teaching and motivating at private schools. so if a university would prefer to have an A grade student from a public school as it shows that they are clever and have worked hard and are self motivated. but i would say that because i go to a public school. And you cant rely on teachers to even teach you the basics in some subjects, so if i do well in them then its beacuse ive worked hard, not because of the good teaching.

and at the moment im most concerned with getting into a good university.

I would say that professors care more about what level of accomlishment you have achieved, rather than how many obstacles you overcame to do so, but that is a plus.
