[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did the counselors suggest the UK for you?[/quote]

Yes, exactly.  Pull some B minuses in tough classes at one of the most competitive, demanding private schools in the United States and you are banished to go abroad indefinitely.  In all seriousness, I'm starting to think that the PP with the daughter who didn't get into any good schools may be a troll.  But it's been nice to see how quick some are to assume the worst about an average student at a place like NCS -- hey, if it weren't for us, how could your higher achievers shine so bright?  They can't give A's to everyone![/quote]

Not the disappointed parent poster, but many love the UK schools.  And it is a fact that they put much more emphasis on tests (including AP results).  Let's also remember that the US has scores of wonderful colleges and universities.  A record that won't lead to an Ivy will still lead to excellent college choices.  But people differ on what they think is acceptable and there are more than a few for who me a top 30 or top 50 college would seem very disappointing.[/quote]
