[quote=Anonymous]I don’t think it’s obvious for anyone. The acceptance rate is under 2 percent so plenty of brilliant kids don’t get in. The round 2 is a black box and at that point they are looking for things other than academic potential which is measured in round 1. In some ways it was obvious to me that my kid was smart and I did think that they would make it to round 2. They started talking—words not sentences—very, very early at 4 months old and they also started doing math very early—can’t really remember but probably adding and subtracting at 2 or 2.5. They are very creative and very curious. On the other hand, they were not reading when they started school and they didn’t write well, had poor pencil grip, etc. in NY a lot of kids are brilliant so I didn’t think my child was smarter than their preschool classmates. As far as I could tell, they were all very smart and while my kid did go to a TT private preschool, it wasn’t a special school for super geniuses.[/quote]
