[quote=Anonymous]I don’t want to burst your bubble, but it really is not hard to have a 4.0 as a sophomore in MCPS. And if he is only taking honors and AP, that probably just means he isn’t taking PE this semester. I have a 10th grader in MCPS right now with similar stats. He is also a minority, plays a sport, has a job, has leadership, shows commitment to his area of interest, and has an interesting personal story. He is not likely to go to an ivy because I can think of 50 kids in his grade that are likely smarter, more focused, or more motivated than he is. And of those 50, hardly any of them will get into an Ivy. I’d encourage you that you shouldn’t overthink your kids one good standardized test score. It is a good sign, but not a setup to an ivy.[/quote]
