[quote=Anonymous]OP, it sounds like you have made up your mind, your gut says don't do it and you are probably correct. At the end of the day, the SOCIAL aspect of a child's development is MOST important. Especially for a girl. The disruption could cause more harm than good. Don't get caught up inthe race to nowhere. One of my friend's DC was in HGC and can not solve math problems any better than my DC. Their SATs were the same (my DC a bit better), and I bet college acceptance will be similar. My DC did not get into HGC, but we truly did not even try. The only difference between teh two is that my friends DC has a smugness about him that has lasted since they got into that program. It is sad, and many parents talk about how arrogant she and her child are. [/quote]
