[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The problem is kids sacrifice so much that had they known that they could sacrifice much less and enjoy their high school experience and have a similar or comparable college outcome. I think they would do it differently.

Grinding away to get into a top school and then to end up at your Flagship can feel disappointing when you would’ve gotten into the Flagship with 50% of the effort.[/quote]

Yea, well, you’re not getting into UVA with 50 percent of the effort so[/quote]

For some students sitting at the top of their class with all the hard courses and yet had more hours of sleep than the grinder group below them, yes aiming UVA would be phoning it in based on their processing speed and self discipline. UVA is a safety for these students, they are at the top corner of the sea of green checks on SCIOR and they could have gotten in with much less effort and slightly easier classes. [/quote]

You’re talking about a tiny minority and being ridiculous.  Sure, there is a small subset of kids for whom UVA might be close to a given who aren’t getting into anywhere better but not very many.  The so called UVA shoo ins are getting plenty of other excellent offers. [/quote]
