[quote=Anonymous]Oh come on. It's worth hearing both of these points of view and, actually, there's some truth in each. Basically, it's good to be on notice that test scores matter more at this level and that the bar for admissions might be raised (or at least different) if you wait to apply. And it's useful to remember that there's an acculturation process and differences in curricula so even a kid who is very smart and who will ultimately excel at a new school may have a difficult transition year academically if s/he doesn't arrive with the same knowledge base or skill set that a particular school has been developing in its students. What fuels fires on DCUM is people eager to start them and others eager to watch and willing to stoke them. It has nothing to do with generalizations or the presence or absence of databanks. [/quote]
