>If college admissions gave as much of an advantage to white, middle-class students of NYC public schools as they do to Andover and Dalton grads, these people would quickly change their strategy.
That's the kicker, the average white, middle class student in NYC can't compete with the public school kids @ Stuyvesant and Bronx Science where minority enrollment is 70%+, they are getting their asses handed to them by Asian students. Hence the flight to private schools where tuition is the same as private universities to keep the immigrant kids at bay. I should know, I was one of those immigrant kids in prep school and would've been eaten alive if I attended public HS.
