Are they a top student! Are they top 20% in their class at least Show them 2026 ig college admission Lage and show them at most it is less than 20% except  sidwell. Tell them Ivy admits 4%. Are they too 5% in the country? [/quote]
Do not do this. These girls are 13 and 14 years old. You have no idea what kind of students they will be in high school yet, nor do you know where they go to school, or if they are legacy etc. 
things happen, people mature and knock things out of the park unexpectedly and other people you think we’re going to do well end up at a great but not stellar college because they didn’t work as hard as they could have or have bad luck. It is not your job to tell other people’s kids to aim lower. Nasty and horrible advice. OKLife will show them the reality of how hard things are as they age and enter other stages. Just tell them there are so many great schools out there things will be great no matter what, if they ask you or talk to you about it. Don’t tell them they can’t achieve a goal or dream when they are 13,14,15 or ever. They’ll find out on their own the hard way if they can’t! And some of them might surprise you![/quote]

At 13 it is pretty clear which kid would have the capacity to learn and shine in academics. Their abilities already differ in late elementary schools. Not just their talents but most important, family environment. [/quote]
