Since you know so many MIT graduates, do you think that’s typical?
No SAT tutors, not many APs, no college counselors, career opportunities aren;t a priority.
My sister’s kids attended one of the Top 10 high schools in the country. Many kids were “fretting” over their college applications so I dont think it’s just CC. Logical or not, many kids have their “dream school” and worry about being accepted to that school even if they know the odds are stacked against them.
