[quote=Anonymous]My 8th grader is applying to an elite private school with acceptance rate <10% (Not in DC area). He is smart but lazy and does not apply himself. Part of this, I feel, is because he is at a very traditional school and does not like it. He has the potential to do so much better. The new school is a much better fit (much less rigid, innovative school), and if admitted, I know he would thrive. The problem is that it is super competitive and he has straight Bs on his report card. For those "in-the-know," is there still a chance he can get accepted? Or is it pretty much impossible with these grades? Outside of school, he is pretty well-rounded and is involved in many activities, although is pretty non-committal with all of them (has natural talent but won't put in the time to excel). [/quote]
