[quote=Anonymous]If you are aiming for the "Big3" schools then early and often is your answer. 1)9th grade admissions are competitive. 2)If you are coming from public it is very difficult to get up to speed immediately. I know you think "my kid is smart, he's do great!" and that is true for a smart cohort of kids. Many others struggle for a semester or year as they figure out the expectations, especially with regard to writing. Yes, they catch up but every semester counts. I know a half dozen kids (brilliant kids) whose college options were impacted because they took a semester or year to get up to speed following a switch from public. [/quote]
