[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP here who posted about exec functioning skills and about how high school doesn't matter. I worked in recruiting for IB and also for consulting (after actually being a consultant myself). Happy to answer questions.[/quote]

Thank you for the kind and detailed information. I spoke with my child’s school counselor, and they mentioned that some tech companies—at least here on the West Coast—look at applicants’ high schools in addition to the the academic competition to get a sense of their background, since they don’t rely solely on college names anymore. I found that interesting and was wondering whether a similar trend exists in the financial industries in the East Coast.[/quote]

High school doesn't matter if your kid got in to a selective school AND is taking classes with a decent amount rigor at that college. If both of the above are true, I am going to assume you are the type who must have challenged yourself in high school as much as you could have given your circumstances and you have a solid base of skills/knowledge to build on. And that's all that matters, because most high schoolers, even brilliant ones, have little say in where they go to school. [/quote]
