[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]yep, Field is a seriously good situation in the current college environment.

The kids don't work that hard but get super high GPAs and do very well with college admissions.

Grade deflation is not a necessary part of learning.  The girls at NCS who kill themselves for a 3.5 are not learning any more than the kid who gets a 4.5 at Field.

Wow Field is a nice school but is well known to be for students that struggle or have learning disabilities and you are saying they sent 10 percent of last year's grads to the Ivies? [b]Are colleges not aware of the massive grade inflation? Shocking.[/b] [/quote]

I don't know but the college results are just as good if not better than the results for the Big3.  Plus the kids have had no stress in high school!!

I really think we WAY over estimate how much colleges care about prestige.

They want high GPAs.  Period. [/quote]

They are realizing this was a big mistake which is why the top schools are now bringing back standardized testing. Some of these kids can not write a paper or a well thought out paragraph for that matter. You may get into an IVY and may even get hired but you an just as easily get fired once you can't pull your weight. Seen it happen. Writing and speaking skills are the most important factor in success no matter what field. You must be able to concisely express your views and opinions and relate them to others even in finance. Child was told these would be the most important things to focus on in undergrad. [/quote]
