[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's a grind for sure. I went to RM but didn't do the IB program. The kids who did though, most went to MIT/Harvard/ etc. and are now doctors and attorneys. [/quote]

Fortunately, you can become a doctor or an attorney without going to MIT or Harvard...  Is that the overarching reason why these kids chose this program?  Because more likely to get into Ivy League?  Or are they like the grind/they are High Achiever Type As who can't imagine slowing down?

Do they burn out?[/quote]

They all pop Adderall to stay up to study/survive. $2-3 a pill. Many have anxiety, sleep deprivation, depression, heavy stress, and can not stop comparing each other.

It is great for merit scholarships. It doesn’t get you in any places that much better. With so many needing a graduate program, where you go for your BA/BS does not matter as much.  Enjoy your teen years. Work in college. Save a lot of money. Get a great GPA and go big for graduate school.  You will end up exactly where they are with so much less stress. [/quote]

Oh no... she’s back! The crazy weirdo.[/quote]

This is my first post on this thread so not sure what you mean or who you think I am.  If you want to think I am crazy while you blindly look away at how medicated, stressed, and sleep deprived your kids are, that is fine. Go for it. [/quote]

I have seen your “everybody’s on drug” posts too many times on DCUM. Gets old actually.[/quote]
