[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is the naturally talented ones. There are plenty of them. Super smart, near perfect PSAT or SAT without much of any prep, always 99% or 99.9+ on standardized tests, even top private or magnet high schools are not terribly hard to make all As. [/quote] I don’t think there are many of them. From all the schools my DC attended, public and private, I can’t name a single kid like that. All kids with high stats I know had to work really hard to get there. My friend’s son is maybe like this. He got all As effortlessly while spending all his free time playing video games. He also effortlessly got 5s on most difficult APs. He got a high ACT score effortlessly, but not perfect. He didn’t get into any top schools. I think because he didn’t work on having good ECs and was too lazy to write essays. Another friend’s daughter the same age is not as talented, she had to grind. But she got into JHU.[/quote]
