[quote=Anonymous] I agree wth 12:58. My DC is at one of these extraordinary schools and I've met some of DC's STEM friends. They are incredibly bright, busy on original research teams as underclassman (and some started in high school), and have an enthusiasm for their studies that is infectiously delightful. I am sure some may be less articulate, but my DC's STEM friends make for great guests over the dinner table, and can discuss current events, literature, etc. as well as STEM. If his friends had an edge in admission because they are interesting and articulate, I don't consider that to be fluff. Recommendations play a role here too. When you are one of 10 typically strong kids in a great high school, that's great and certainly can make you competitive. When the teachers say a kid is one of the best the teacher has seen in 10 -15 years of teaching, that is something different. The equally bright kid who is also interesting and likable will have an edge here too. [/quote]
