[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m talking about state schools. The amount of anxiety and stress just to get into top state schools is over the top and not necessary. Just my two cents.[/quote] Agree. Uva and W&mary are not impossible or reach for everyone, yet more parents seem to say it each year. Some are clueless that over 15% of our graduating class got in last year, over 20% of the private school down the road. The biggest rookie mistake is not understanding the high school, and this starts by listening to the book club ladies group and not getting the data. Look at Scoir in 9th grade, talk to the head college counselor and get the school profile in 9th. Pay attention to where your kid is tracking based on courses and accept the best course choices for them but make sure the teachers are advising the correct path and not holding them back for nonsensical reasons. If they are top kids and get into top courses they will have no trouble getting into the top flagships[/quote]
