[quote=Anonymous]I have two examples to tell you: Two of my coworkers had sons in the same grade, zoned for Wootton, both Asian boys, both very smart and strongly STEM oriented. One went along CES-TP-Blair path, one got accepted but reluctant to take the traffic, and had the philosophy that standing at the top of Wotton may increase the chance to get accepted by Ivy than standing in the medium of Blair. Then the Blair kid went to Carnegie Mellon, the Wootton boy went to MIT. After that many years, the Carnegie Mellon boy is on his last year to residence (majored in dermatology), the MIT boy is creating his own unicorn company in Silicon Valley. Both are successful, in slightly different ways. The point for me is, it doesn't really matter that much. The career and happiness largely depend on kids born IQ and EQ, and environment they grow up from (e.g., if you work hard, that's a positive role model for them). CES is not the only magic way, not even close to. [/quote]
