[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just here to say I wish schools only looked at 11th and 12th for gpa. It’s insane to expect consistent perfection, ambition, and long-term planning from kids from 14/15 -17/18 without intense parental control. Wonder why helicopter parents became a thing? I don’t. Colleges reward premature frontal lobe development and controlling parenting ([b]even parents doing some of the kids work[/b])[/quote]

Do parents really do this? Lol! I don't think my kid would want me attempting his precalc or physics especially since I never took those classes. [/quote]

Yes.   Especially last year with virtual learning.  And not just parents.   I even heard about someone (friend of a friend) having their kid's foreign language tutor "sitting with" the student during a vritual test.

Basically if a kid is a current senior who had low freshmen/sophmore grade but "thrived" junior year with virtual learning, I'm going to assume there was some form of cheating involved.   That's why it's important that OP's kid ALSO did well on the SAT.  In that case, i would NOT assume cheating.  [/quote]
