[quote=Anonymous]Plenty of good info above, but I wanted to note that we started talking to our kids in middle school about the importance of excellent grades in the recruiting process. One of our kids is a talented athlete who is quite bright, but not particularly interested in school. In MoCo (and maybe elsewhere) middle school grades in languages and some levels of math end up on college transcripts. He fought us for a while about the need to prioritize homework, but then an older kid at his club told him he was locked out of a bunch of colleges that he would otherwise be recruited for due to his GPA. Thereafter, DS did precisely the minimum amount necessary to earn As, and he ended up with his pick of colleges. [/quote]
