[quote=Anonymous]I've had kids at two Big3 schools and honestly most of the top kids are lifers or close to it. it's very hard to perform (I.e catch up) to the level required to get As in English and history if you arrive in 9th. it's such a giant gap between public and private in these subjects and many 9th grade admits are from public. the public kids are usually accelerated in math but that only gets you so far and sometimes it's not a great foundation. I'd say 75% of the top kids arrive earlier than 9th. Maybe 85%. My own kids arrived in 9th so I've experienced this first hand. [/quote]
