[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How can they tell the difference between hot housed and normal kids, lol? My friend's son got in with very low scores but a decent GBRS. Why is he more "deserving" than someone like OP's kid? The whole process is nuts.[/quote] Idk. This poster here says there was discrepancy between school work samples and home work samples. That probably raised a red flag. Other things I would personally look at include whether outside activities are Kahn academy type things or more child led activities such as Odyssey of the Mind.[/quote] How could a second grader be doing Odyssey of the Mind? It is not even offered at most schools, and then for older grades. Most people don't list Kumon, prep schools, tutoring on their kids' applications. [/quote] Oh, it’s offered at our based school and center school starting in K. I didn’t realize it is not like that through FCPS. [/quote]
