[quote=Anonymous]The vast majority of students at Harvard or any of the other <10% admission colleges are NOT prodigies. My DC got in to one of those schools early this year, but DC is very normal teenage humanities/social science student - certainly not a Big Bang Theory type. DC got all As and A-s with 1550+ SATs and all 5s on the APs, (like 20,000 other kids) but DC did not take all of the hardest classes at his school. I think what mattered was that DC is an influential personality with peers and the teachers/administrators consider him to be extremely thoughtful and articulate. They tell us he stands out in ways that we don't see while nagging about curfew and cleaning up his room. [/quote]
