[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I guess it is a lottery and some kids have to win. Guess they got lucky x2.

Or pulled an Aunt Becky.

More likely, the two kids are just brilliant. I’ve met some of these students, and they tower over regular smart kids like mine. [/quote]

It’s a lottery even for brilliant kids.

I don't think so.  I don't think these schools are turning down geniuses.   There are way too many bright and capable kids that can succeed with the work load...lottery for them.  But brilliant kids are not common.[/quote]

Guess it depends on how you define “brilliant” or “genius”.

Seems like a lottery even for kids I know who I’d call brilliant/exceptional.

I don't think it really that random.  Every year they announce winners of prestigious science or math or other intense HS competitions and they all seem to be accepted into and choosing to attend hypsm type schools [/quote]

Not all of those winners. There is also, it seems, a bit of luck for HYPS.

If we expand to top 15, sure, but this thread is HYPS.
