[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is much better to be a big fish in a small pond. The top 10% - 20% at less rigorous HS do much better in college admissions than the top 40% - 50% at the most rigorous ones. With a lot less work and stress. [/quote] +1 I try to alert parents considering magnet programs about this. [b]Choose the magnet for the quality of the education and strong college preparation NOT because it will help with college admissions.[/b] The opposite is usually the case. [/quote] +1 DC was selected to magnet, and we wanted that because frankly, the non-magnet public education was subpar. The college admissions stuff will take care of itself. [/quote]
