[quote=Anonymous]Another NT grad here who took 4 and 5 level classes. Most of the kids in my classes were quite bright. The folks who got mediocre grades in them tended to be very bright kids who didn't apply themselves. The kids who worked very hard, but perhaps weren't innately intelligent, were rarely in these classes. I went to a private liberal arts undergrad with a full tuition scholarship; while not a top ten school, still quite good, and wow, classes were almost always easy after NT. I think I got two Bs in four years. I did attend a top-5 law school, and I'd say the level of intelligence and competitiveness was comparable to my NT experience.

I'm now deciding whether to put my young children through that pressure cooker or opt for something a bit less intense. I don't care at all if my kids attend Ivys - but I do care that they are happy, learn, and hopefully find their passions.

When we purchased our home, while pregnant with my first, I thought there'd be no way I'd pick NT. Nine years later, it turns out my oldest is pretty darn bright, and his little brother is no slouch. Now as we're looking to move, I'm considering it.[/quote]
