[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For the non Sidwell parents of the world...what is Math III/IV?[/quote]

Theoretical math sequence.[/quote]

NP. So my DC’s very similar to OP’s but IS taking the theoretical math sequence… does my kid have a better shot at T10 due to the “increased” rigor?[/quote]

Probably better to cast it as different rather than better.

Face it, pre-COVID anyhow, a 3.9+ at Sidwell was very very rare....maybe 1 or possibly 2 4.0's in a grade, and 3.9 would be top ten. 3.8 would be like top 30 and so on.

So a 3.93 is likely a top 5/10 in the grade and should put this kid with that 5% chance at any school in the country. Of course, once you get past the first tranche of review, it is a total crapshoot, and they should plan accordingly in terms of programs, size, setting, geography etc that interest them and focus more on that and less on "T10" or "Ivy" or whatever.

A kid who is interest in Brown should have zero interest in Columbia or Chicago. A kid interested in Dartmouth should have a different opinion of Columbia or Penn. They need to think about what kind of experience they want to have and hone.[/quote]
