[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I graduated high school in 1976. In those days, no one took prep courses. I didn't score the highest in my class in either math or verbal but I did get the highest composite score. I guess I was sort of a jack of all trades master of none sort of student. I went to a small private college preparatory school in Phoenix from first grade through twelve and my graduating class had 25 students. 5 of us went East, two to Columbia, one to Princeton, one to Wesleyan, and one to the pre-medical program at Johns Hopkins. The rest went to California, one to Stanford, one to what was then called Claremont Men's College, and I don't remember where the rest went. I don't think money mattered in those days since, as far as I know, there were no prep courses. If money matters now, it's a terrible shame. [/quote]

The good old days. :// Not like that anymore. Kids are groomed from primary school. And the newest thing is parents pretending it's effortless ... pretending they don't make their kids do activities, or prep for tests ... but behind the scenes they're orchestrating everything to make their kid perfect.[/quote]
