[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow, your kid is advanced in math! Those in the know---does this type of math acceleration (and let's say the kid has great grades) help with elite school admissions? Or is it pretty commonplace? This is the equivalent of taking Algebra 1 in 5th grade. [/quote] The short answer - by itself and without any additional context (e g neither parent is a college graduate) - no. The math geniuses peak relatively early. For an UMC kid to show significant promise in math (as in to be admitted to an elite school purely on his math potential), there should be more than just an acceleration by 2 years. In conjunction with other things - yes. [/quote]
