[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD has had impressive college admissions but admitted that high school has been a grind, not a lot of fun, but very high achieving. She is thinking of going somewhere more fun for college instead of continuing the drudgery (her words). Anyone else's kids feel this way? She will be successful wherever she goes, I am confident, but I want her to be happy too. [/quote] The students who belong at the JHU/Rice/WashU-type school, went to ordinary high schools and graduated at 18 or 19 thought an ordinary high school AP class was way too easy. They may hate getting bad grades, but they’re thrilled to be in a school where the professors know enough to create challenging courses. They have no serious conflict between partying and studying. They’re just grateful for a chance to have to study. [/quote]
