[quote=Anonymous]Even if BASIS had the dough or orientation to offer robust HS ECs, few high school kids would have time to pursue them since BASIS effectively crams 4 years of HS into 3. Kids don't take classes senior year: they're expected to have taken all their AP classes/exams by the end of jr. year. The arrangement works best for the highly math gifted, who can burn through math requirements with time to spare. We found that BASIS didn't celebrate individual talents, backgrounds and learning enough to position many kids to crack the most highly competitive colleges. What they're really after is piles of college merit aid, vs. Ivy admissions (contrary to how they pitch the program to parents). [/quote]
