[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I have a friend whose kids were accelerated in math at a top NY private school in middle school. It happened because the kids are freaking brilliant at math, not because their parents pulled strings. Will I be surprised when these kids get into an ivy? No. The family is “normal”, doesn’t brag, sweet kids. You’d never know how gifted the kids are unless you can talk about calculus with a 12 year old. [/quote] I know a kid like that, no hooks, no old money, no new money, immigrant parents in academia, with graduate degrees, no sports, private high school, got into oxbridge, some national math contests but not international mathlete or something, didn't get into any ivy and barely got into their very competitive state-u, so, yeah, op saying no hook is very unlikely, probably rich, at least[/quote]
