[quote=Anonymous]It depends on the college. No for HYPSM. Yes for Uchicago and a few others. Been at this a few years for my kids. Every year parents misinterpret private high school placements, which are often heavily influenced by VIP families and other hooks. Every year parents enroll their kids and push them to grind away to be at the top of their classes. Every year they head out on Spring Break junior year and make a beeline for HYP, Brown and Columbia, believing this is the kids’ destiny. And every year almost all those great kids get mowed down. I keep wondering when people are going to start figuring out that this equation does not result in success. [/quote]
