A side note:
I think it's kind of a weird experience for us parents of HG+ kids to think that our kids--the smartest in their classes, in their schools!--might not quite make the cut-off for something that's academically oriented. I know I'm feeling sort of...flustered...about it...or something...
So much of that application is MY responsibility, not DS's, and I feel a duty to do well on it and not slap something together so that I give him the best possible chance to get into YSP. It feels very weird to me.
Anyone know what I'm talking about? Or is it just me, just another reverberation from my own time as a GT kid and my latent perfectionism?
P.S. Good luck, Mia!
