1) At any given university, the kids from public schools are smarter than the kids from private schools. This is a necessary consequence of private schools improving kids' admissions prospects, and parents wouldn't send their kids to private schools if they didn't.
2) So if you show up at college and find that you're behind the kids who went to better high schools, don't be discouraged. Your position may be worse, but your velocity is higher. By the end of college you'll be ahead of them.
