[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it’s overrated. A lot of the insanely intelligent types of students go to public university, breeze through at the beginning and then challenge themselves in grad courses.[/quote]

This is the answer. [/quote]

Why would you want your kid to breeze through? [/quote]

Many brilliant kids would rather breeze through a prerec or two than spend high school curating a fake story about whatever fashionable nonsense AOs want these days. There’s no third option where you can just be brilliant and driven and get into an elite college on the strength of that alone. Schools that practice “holistic admissions” are openly hostile to kids like that. [/quote]

Brilliant kids aren’t taking pre-recs regardless of where they go.

Stop using terms like “brilliant” or “genius” when you really just mean the average smart kid.

Brilliant kids at public colleges often start as sophomores or higher because of all their AP credits or placement test scores.[/quote]

Starting as sophomore or higher is regular UMC. The first year of college is remedial high school. [/quote]
