[quote=Anonymous]OP Here. He is in magnet program and his friends have all A's. He wants to pursue RM or Blair badly. He does not wnat to go to the local High School. That said, he is not too perturbed by the B's. To give him the credit, he gets A's in most subjects every year. Our concern is that the new teachers who write recommendations will probably weigh his current grade heavily and that with his grades for 1st quarter (since the application is due at the end of this month) will not look convincing enough to tell the selection committee that he needs the programs to just stay challenged and motivated. Other fact is in the magnet program, all the kids are super smart and hence his recommendation will be poor because of his gardes in comparison to his friends.  May be I am worrying unnecessarily; may be he will do fine with essays, his test scores, and his extra curricular activities.

For the one parent who wrote about him missing Ivy league, I get your sarcasm. We will take one step at a time and will talk about the "Ivy League" in 4 years! However I do not find your sense of humor matching mine, since even in my humorous best I cannot talk about killing my kids![/quote]
