[quote=Anonymous]I'd apply. My DC is just starting at an HGC. In many ways it's not as great as I expected. I'm happy he's there, but I might not have chosen it if it involved a long bus commute each way. My son wasn't a genius at math or anything, but was quick to learn what was taught and just has a rather mature perspective on things. I think there is quite a range in terms of the "type" of smart that gets accepted. Our son was bored at school, but wasn't an excellent student. He certainly didn't get many ES grades. There seem to be quite a few obnoxiously smart (as opposed to scary smart) kids in the class. ie, kids who are always correcting people, etc. I think 4th grade is just a know-it-all age. I get the feeling the kids are happy in the class, though.[/quote]
