<p>"MiamiDAP, we have a friend, a graduate of my daughter’s test-in high school in NYC, who attended the same college that your daughter attended and did considerably better there than she did in high school. "
-Glad to hear that. Maturity plays role. My own S. did much better (at different college). He just did not do what he knew very well that needs to be done to get those As in HS. So, he started doing that in college and that worked perfectly. I would not go so far as all As, but many dean’s lists happened. In his case what made a huge diff. was that he was doing what he loved in college being in a program that did not have many GE classes…and we paid full price for him. But again, no tricks. just apply yourself with the increased level of effort. Again, what might not work in PhD program for mathematics, will work in UG, I will guarantee you.<br>
In regard to test-in high school in NYC, my GrandD. is at one of them. Just following in her aunt footsteps, doing her homework, working hard, involved in everything that one can imagine, the same results. I hope she will continue in the same fashion, she is only a sophomorel…</p>
