[quote=Anonymous]How can you possibly predict that your 8th grader could achieve a perfect GPA at these “lesser” schools? Sure, you know he’s a good test taker but great test taker does not by definition equate to top student. I know several national merit finalists who aren’t good at getting their homework done on time. Plus, god only knows if your child will WANT to go to the MOST competitive college in the world. Maybe he will fall in love with French and want to an amazing French department. Or become a huge sports fan and desperately want to go to the big games and get rowdy with his bros. I think trying to game out success like this is a fools errand. I’m in a mission for my kids to find hard work AND fun AND passion in high school. I assume things will work out better for me than for you. But to each his own. [/quote]
