[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"It will be fine" is a nice broad generic response but I guess the question is...  if selective university X looks at kids from kids from high performing Highschool Y will they look at group A (higher track) and invite these students before group B (normal track) all things considered equal (grades, scores, etc.)?[/quote]
Then the question becomes, "if my DC doesn't get into a selective university, is his life doomed"?  "Do I want to pressure my kid to get into a selective university?"[/quote]

That's a second question..

Will it impact a colleges descision? and Will my kid be doomed by not attending selective college?

We've already agree on the answer to the second question but that doesn't address the first.[/quote]

If OP's answer to the first two questions is a "yes", then she can answer the 3rd, and then finally, it will determine whether she needs to panic.

1. "if my DC doesn't get into a selective university, is his life doomed"? 
2.  "Do I want to pressure my kid to get into a selective university?"
3.  " if selective university X looks at kids from kids from high performing Highschool Y will they look at group A (higher track) and invite these students before group B (normal track) all things considered equal (grades, scores, etc.)?"[/quote]

#2 is not an appropriate question really.  I'll tell you that my parents had zero impact on the schools I wanted to go to and ultimately chose.  Ever thought that the child may want as many options as they can?[/quote]
