[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You do have to start lining up the right classes in grade school to get into the right classes in high school if DD wants one of the top schools. However we are in NYC and getting into the Specialized High Schools and private schools are what is on the mind of every 7th and 8th grader I know now. The fact that your DD is already in the school where she will attend high school clears that hurdle at least. Yes, sadly - it is pretty common among good students. [/quote] I hear that kids as young as third grade start studying for the entrance exam to the NYC specialized high schools - wild. Competition to get into the top universities is tough, OP. Luckily my DS knew what college he wanted to go to when he was a kid and never wavered and it wasn't an ivy or top 20 university. Made our lives much easier! [/quote]
