[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, why was it necessary to point out that your kids are "Ivy/T10?" How does it add to the topic in any way?[/quote] I think it may be a troll post. No one who has one, let alone two kids, at ivy/T10 needs any anonymous help online. We have two at different ivies unhooked. We did not pay anyone nor ask for random advice after we went through our first. The free advice we got online with the first was to seek out the school counselor and the SCOIR data early, as in after 9th grade. That ended up the best advice. Nothing else was really needed once we saw the data, we knew ours would have a decent shot. If your student is a top student who is intellectually curious and has intelligence in range, they will already be on track to take all of the rigorous courses and they will want to do it without parental pushing. If they are independently disciplined they will be able to get great grades that put them on the path to have a decent to excellent chance depending on how competitive their high school is. If they are creative and interesting they will have activities they enjoy, they will naturally seek out ways to improve the community around them. If they are kind, considerate and thoughtful in class they will not only have great LOR they will likely get teacher recognition/awards which can help set them apart as long as the school does not give out dozens of awards.[/quote]
