[quote=Anonymous] I apologize for being so rude, OP, but your kids do not sound that impressive, just slightly above-average. A great many children are like this, and need to be strongly encouraged in order to do reasonably well. This has nothing to do with getting a perfect SAT, GRE or MCAT, being Eagle Scout and President of X, Y, Z Club and finding time to volunteer at one's favorite charitable organization. This is what it takes to get into a good university now. I have an exceptionally gifted cousin, a learning-disabled yet gifted child, and know plenty of run-of-the-mill above-average children - only a small minority are self-driven. Actually, of my non-statistical sample, only the aforementioned cousin :-) Most importantly, until your children are considerably older, I would not conclude anything yet!!! [/quote]
