As someone who has been to both and hated both, I can honestly say that yes, being in a private school helps.

Many private schools really focus towards getting you into your choice university while I found that public schools just push you towards graduation. A private school will cater to your needs more than a public school will, however all this will come at a cost. If you're still unsure you should talk to a guidance counselor (I know this is nerdy, but they can be really helpful!)

The reality is that schools want students that get good grades and are active in their community. Good grades and activities are more important than what school you went to. My daughters attend a public high school, and it is one of the most highly recruited schools in the US. It is because of the classes and required activities. Many colleges are more interested in where you placed in your class then what school or grades you have. In Texas, top 10% of your class will get you accepted in the best schools there. Basically, the colleges are interested in the student more than the school they went to.

What are the advantages of public college verses private college?

Generally, the public college system is cheaper to attend, but the education is good or better than the private. Just because you pay a lot of money doesn't mean the education is better. In many cases you get people teaching in the public college system that have "real world" experience and this carries over into the classroom.

Do private schools have better scholarship opportunities?

There are less scholarship opportunities for private schools. Private schools are more expensive and scholarships dont always cover the entire costs of the schools. Since private schools are not fully funded as public schools they will only offer a scholarship to the best and brightest student. If you are that student then you will be way above the others so the answer is yes they do.
