No it isn't. Not every private school in the country has the same reputation and connections to college admissions.

I guess I’ll have to take your word for it, but as someone who can’t afford private schooling I see them all as not merit based and solely people paying for the best long term outcomes for their children. There is no judgement, I get it.

These schools may be sending their top students to Ivy-level schools, but they're still also sending graduates to Penn State, Villanova, and Temple every year as well. You still have to perform well at these schools for college admissions purposes.

Ok, fine, but that's a completely different thing from what you were saying a second ago.
