[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The schools are picking the top 3-4% of the applicants. You get some very smart kids in at 9th grade. Think Will Hunting. Some of these kids can write a paper an hour before class and get the highest grade in the class or spend 30 minutes studying on AP chemistry.[/quote] This is an absurdly stupid statement. My kid is in the top 5-10% of their class - entered in 9th - currently a junior. They are a great many things, but “Good Will Hunting” not among them. The kids that enter in 9th are generally well-rounded, not myopic math (or science, or anything) geeks that are technically geniuses but non-functional in other capacities. [/quote]
