[quote=Anonymous]OP it sounds like you have an incredibly talented and well-adjusted kid. I would probably put some guardrails up - no Cs for example - and perhaps encourage some return to honors classes, for peer group and because GPA will matter for admission even to non-elite schools, especially in CS. I know it's hard - I have a well-adjusted kid doing well at a great but not super elite SLAC and sometimes I hear about kids of people I know who are HPYSM etc and I think we missed a boat somewhere. Mostly because I know that money & influence helped smooth the path to HYPSM and I worry I've let my kid down somehow. But why - if he's happy and finding a path to a successful adult life, what could be better? [/quote]
