I think it depends if the private school has an excellent academic reputation and whether their students can meet their expected ~$13 000/pa for uBer-Secksy UAI standards.
Tall poppies tend to be segregated in selective, public schools, so the idea of being surrounded by nerds sounds like an isolated case - unless you naturally gravitate towards geeks/jews/youth allowance recipients or attend PLC. Ok. so certain l33t privates have more of an emphasis on all-rounder-ness-education and have enough dough to roll the phat *experienced* and subjectively *money=results* teachers in.
IMHO, it doesn't matter which fascist institution you attend - if you have enough determination and independant study is your niche then it wouldn't make much of a gimungous difference UAI which you end up in. Take c james for example
On another note: I wouldn't have a fucking clue about privates, seeings I've only been to a selective and public iml.
