[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Attend the least competitive high school as you can. My sister has twins. The gifted twin attends a really competitive magnet school where most students have parents who are professors, doctors, lawyers, computer scientists. It is really hard to stand out.He does not have all A's.

His twin who never qualified for any gifted programs attends their incredibly low ranked, above 75% FARM high school. She is in the honors track there and stands out. She has straight A's taking the highest level classes available. She has opportunities available to her because there are several programs for bright kids attending high poverty schools. [/quote]

But what about their college acceptances?  [/quote]

I'm 100% positive they will go to schools that are a great fit!

Well you certainly can't use two kids who haven't been admitted to an elite school, or any school for that matter, as data points.  [/quote]
