[quote=Anonymous]^ The point is not to make your student take these. The school will encourage those that are ready! Teachers steer top kids into the hardest path, no parental intervention or knowledge about paths needed. The point is to assess where your student falls in the context of what is possible at their school and have an honest conversation with the counseling dean on what is possible as foar as colleges for your student where they are not where you wish they were. No sense pushing ivy+ on your kid with their 1520 and 12 APs that you think is max rigor when those APs are AP precal, APGeo, Art History, AB cal, Stats, Econ, Gov, CompSci, APBio, APES, APush and APLit in 12th when the strong kids have it 11th. They are not top rigor. They are likely a little above average or average rigor at most privates or magnets like TJ, MGLWS. They are not on the path in line for UVA in-state, let alone T20/ivy+[/quote]
