[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Like so many straight A students who were chief school newspaper editor, captain of a varsity sports team, volunteering, and more who can't even get to VA Tech. I don't know what people who get into schools like Michigan or the Ivy Leagues are doing in high school. [/quote] There's a lot to be said for sparing your kid stress and disappointment and looking at decent regional schools with honors programs. Your kid can get an outstanding education without jumping through other people's hoops. Many decent regional schools have excellent academics, dorms, food, sports facilities, and social activities. Kids with the same stats tend to do equally well, whether they attend a top or average school. A bright, hard-working kid who stands out at a regional school will attract the attention of their professors and could get all sorts of opportunities. [/quote]
