[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’d guess that the parents who claim their kids don’t have much homework have kids who are not in the most rigorous classes, are letting their classmates carry their weight in group projects and are not among the highest achievers. My kid’s workload is very similar to the other very studious high achieving kids they spend time with and it’s a heavy load. [/quote]

No you are at least partially wrong. My kid was in function track, taking most rigorous courses with straight A, as a matter of fact, exhausted all electives in one subject that makes them becoming TA in senior year for a lower-grade course. They have two out-of-school ECs that consume like 15 hours per week practice time, and did well on STEM competitions and did two summer interns that had led to publications and conference presentations. They had like ~ 10 days each year that they couldn't finish homework before 10:30 pm (and they had to arrive home like 9 pm or so 3 nights per week for EC). [/quote]

How long ago did your kid graduate?[/quote]

Current senior. Got T5 EA/ED offer already. [/quote]

No T5 admit posted in the Blair Accepts Insta page so far.[/quote]

They don’t post. There were a dozen MIT last year and nobody posted [/quote]
