[quote=Anonymous]Don't get overanxious, its early. Wait for this year's grades and SATs next June. Junior year is tough and grades this year matter more than grades in 9th and 10th. You'll get the best advice from the school's college counselor. If by "top private" you mean one of the schools most talked about on this board - NCS, SFS, GDS, Maret, WIS, Potomac, etc. - a mix of As and Bs are solid grades. Very few students have straight As at these schools. Typical college destinations include all the SLACs but it depends on the classes taken and a lot on the teacher and counselor recommendations. But a good list would include reaches (all the top SLACS), matches (> than 50/50 odds), and foundations (pretty assured admission). The college counselor will have very specific and clear guidance but they probably don't want to talk to you until after this year's seniors are done. [/quote]
