[quote=Anonymous]I would prefer Yale to be stuffed with musical prodigies and the kid who can cure cancer rather my own because I’d like a cure for cancer. If my kids are good enough, great, go, work hard, compete. This game of “I can get my non-extraordinary not that academically oriented kid into Harvard if I force them into accelerated programs, red shirt them and tutor the shit out of them to get them through a school” hurts the kids and hurts the school who chase admission trends rather than focus on providing a solid education and hiring great faculty. The worst part is that a bunch of people are destroying their kids chasing something they probably aren’t going to land even if they are at one of these schools, and for what? The superstars are superstars, no school is going to turn your kid into a prodigy or a future Elon Musk. It might provide them with the academic background, work ethic and character they need to succeed no matter who they are with the talent they actually have if the focus is on the academic program rather than the lottery of Ivy League admissions.
