[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]First -- recognize that you face extremely long odds (not a lottery per se) at these schools. If you have a hook (URM/first gen/under-represented state/moneybags donor possibilities/Olympic athlete/van Kliburn finalist etc), you have some advantages. But you still need a high GPA, with rigorous classes and stellar test scores. 8th grade is too early for SAT/ACT prep but many schools offer the 8/9 PSAT which gives you a good guide. I don't know what you mean by prep for high school classes -- that's what school is for. [/quote] +1 and be mindful of how you talk about college. Harvard, Yale, etc are not "good colleges" they are "elite" colleges. And a kid who does everything seemingly perfectly still is most likely not getting in. But there are a lot of good colleges out there which they should also consider. [/quote]
