[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]start crafting ur child’s narrative in middle school - after that it’s too late to appear authentic - [/quote] BS. Both got in UVA in state plus multiple T25/top LACs and that is not needed. Let the kids be themselves, take the classes they want to take. Students who will really soar at T10s will take the top classes and be in the top whatever % in their HS without parents pushing. Usually these are the same kids that are already 98-99%ile on standardized tests at baseline, since they were younger (CTP, Cal Achievements, etc)[/quote] Yup, you could probably look at a class of incoming 9th graders and already pick out most of those who have a shot at the most selective colleges. They're already making straight A's look effortless and superstars in multiple interests of their own volition. Sure, some will develop while in high school, but mostly it's just who they are and already have been before they even get there. And that's FINE! Let them be themselves, and they'll either be that kid or they won't. Whether they're admitted to an elite college or not won't make a bit of difference in their future success.[/quote]
