[quote=Anonymous]Here is a serious answer. IQ helps with some things that selective privates look for: ability to learn, maturity, world awareness. But an IQ of 120 is sufficient there. Very high IQ is a detriment to most schools in the younger years because those kids need a different pace and depth. You can look to two places: Feynman (need 130 or above) or Davidson Academy in-line. Nysmith is in Virginia but it is for profit, so I don’t trust it. We send DC to Feynman and it worked well. But please don’t think Sidwell or something will work if your child is highly or profoundly gifted. The flip side is, does IQ help the child to get in if you want one of the Big 3? That depends on so many other factors. The schools don’t want all high IQ kids; they want a diverse student body. So it is like college: a crap shoot in terms of who else is applying, etc. Hope that helps.[/quote]
