[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The reality is that there are kids applying early to Princeton who will end up at, say, Brandeis. It’s not all that different a pool. There is something to be said for circumventing months of stress and waiting. The outcome might be no different. I sympathize, kind of, as my kid’s favorite right now is a regional school, not well known, and I think he’d be a competitive candidate at much more “name” schools. But in the end it’s his decision. I went to HYP and it was not a great experience overall. It really is about what you do in college, not where you go. [/quote] "It really is about what you do in college, not where you go." This is key. It doesn't matter how "smart" you are, you still have to go and excel. A kid at their best fit school will excel and go far. A kid that smart should do well anywhere, so let them have their life. As this poster stated, HYP is not always a great experience. [/quote]
