If kid is worried about getting weeded out, kid doesn’t belong. Go study humanities or something else.

Year in and year out, it’s the kids never thought about being weed out ended up being weed out.

Public school 4.0 kids with 16 APs get destroyed left and right at these top schools every year.  They’ve never been prepped properly for college rigor.  [/quote]
I’m pp with dd who did well in intro bio. She comes from rigorous public with 4.0/4.7/1530 and 6 AP’s (all 5’s) so not the highest stats you’ll see on this board. What I think helped was learning time management in high school as she played on high level sports team (15-20 hours/week, national travel) and not overloading coursework her first year. So she works hard but it’s not overwhelming, and she sometimes feels like she was busier in high school.

While there are certainly students who drop premed, I don’t think it’s as black and white as other posters claim. [/quote]
