Technically true. Because getting a 4.2 at a school where 40% of kids don't graduate is technically more impressive than a 4.2 from a school full of kids who get 4 2s.

However most ways you slice the data, private school grads spend more and get more aid for that ridiculous Catholic U. tuition than public school kids get, or need, to attend Towson. Which academically isn't that much worse than many private lax colleges....sadly.
