[quote=Anonymous][quote]My kids are at T10 /ivy and they are filled with nice friendly students. All schools at this level have a competitive nature to them because many classes are “curved” to a B/B+such that below the mean kids get a B or worse. Thats just how it is. Uva and William &Mary do it too. Ask any kid in orgo or calc or physics there. Curves happen. All T40 types have them. The difference at T10s is that 75% of the students are 1500+ SAT kids, whereas W&M and UVA have “only” 25% that level. At all these schools half the kids are the bottom half. Pick a school where your kid is likely to be top half AND the bottom half still gets into med and law school. Thats going to mean by necessity a T10 school, maybe T15. The name itself opens doors even for bottom half kids. It doesnt matter as much for majors that do not do the curving—almost all kids in those classes can get A- or A [/quote] You completely missed the assignment.[/quote]
