[quote=Anonymous]First, congratuations! Second, to provide my anecdotal experience: (1) very high pressure and competition, especially for jr and sr years when they realize the competition is really just among their peers. For girls strong in STEM, you general have a better shot to land some excellent offers than Asian boys with similar metrics. This holds true in later career stage. If your DD is genuinely interested and strong in STEM, definitely worths a try. (2) It really depends. For very strong student, 2-3 hours/night in total is possible. I heard that 3-5 hours/night is a more typical scene, including weekends. (3) There are plenty other courses and tracks to dive deeper. How about biology and chemistry? How about engineering (e.g., robotics)? I would worry more for extremely advanced kid as electives are expected to decline rapidly once the regional model starts. Other than that, transportation is more uncertain so I'd put more weights on logistics if I were you.[/quote]
