I was wondering about the differences between a student that would attend a public city high school and another that would attend a suburban high school. If both student were to graduate in the top 25% of their respective class, they had the same GPA and both had applied to the same university, which of the two students would most likely be accepted to the university?


If the suburban student was to be chosen over the city, public high school student, why would that be? I've researched the Chicago Public School system(since I do live in Chicago), and you need 24 unit credits to graduate, and in the suburban high schools you only need, 22 unit credits. That is only one school, there is other were you need less credits.
Is this because suburban schools are known as having their classes more rigorous?
