[quote=Anonymous]My DS got into a top 10 with an ED. He had all As all four years at rigorous private. Never a A- or B+. Took all hardest classes and the APs offered so had the most rigorous schedule available. 1570 single sitting. Four year varsity athlete, captain, state tournaments all four years. First place in state in math team competition. President of an academic club. He was incredibly busy but incredibly disciplined in high school and the academics required work in terms of time management but did come easily to him in terms of substance.

Second child is a junior now. It is so much harder for her. She has a mix of A, A- and B+ and truly is working as hard as she can. Not taking all the most advanced classes. So far has a 31 and hoping to superstore her way to a 33/34. Lower athletic performance but good club and other ECs but nothing like first DC.

It is just totally different what was natural to him and what she is doing. If she were my only child I would think she was a mid-strong student. But seeing him do all he did in high school I recognize top 10 is a different breed. [/quote]
