The post above is embarrassing because of the spelling and punctuation mistakes. HOWEVER, it is true that public schools in affluent areas of major cities are much more difficult than most private schools in St. Louis. That's because there are so many people at Mizzou from suburban Chicago, for example. They can't get into U. of Illinois because it is so competitive. So while Mizzou might not get the best and the brightest out-of-state students (except in journalism), the next-best students are still very bright and are helping to boost Mizzou's academic reputation. And I have a question for our favorite little private school apologist: if your family placed such a high value on a private school education, what are you doing at Mizzou? They probably should have saved that money they spent on your overrated high school and used it for college, instead, if going to an elite school means that much to you.
