[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]College depends on the major. Chemistry or electrical engineering students for example will have more demanding college study than liberal arts or HS. It is the nature of the beast. [/quote] +1. Pre-med required courses can also be competitive if that is something your child is attempting. Coming from a competitive high school, I found my ivy to be easy. However, I did notice many people struggle who I thought would not -- and later figured out it had more to adjusting to the "real life" demands college puts on you. If all your time in hs is spent trying to succeed academically, sometimes there's not enough time spent learning how to deal with self-esteem issues (especially if you're now in an environment where everyone else is just as smart as you are). It's good to learn how to balance life and have fun while you are in hs, so you can draw upon those skills in college.[/quote]
