<span class="userContent">School isn't like real life. In fact, it's
about as far from real life as can be imagined. The lessons that let you
be successful in school (follow the rules, work hard, know the right
answers) are completely the opposite of those that help you become a
successful entrepreneur (change the rules, work smart, know the right
questions).</span>
<span style="font-family: Times; line-height: 28px;">@ 第 </span><font style="font-family: Times; line-height: 28px;">21</font><span style="font-family: Times; line-height: 28px;"> </span><span style="font-family: Times; line-height: 28px;">楼: I attended GHP and so did most of my friends in high school. I had a lot of fun there, but I don't think it's reflective of a student's chances at getting into a selective college. The students selected for GHP aren't necessarily the top students, for three reasons:</span><div><font face="Times"><span style="line-height: 28px;"><br></span></font></div><div><div><span style="font-family: Times; line-height: 28px;">1) Each school system is allotted a quota of students they're allowed to send to GHP based on number of students (more specifically, average daily attendance of 10th and 11th graders). Thus, a school system with much stronger students will, on average, send much stronger students to GHP than a weaker school system --- the students that end up at GHP are not the top students in Georgia, but rather the top students in each school system. If there is a concentration of talented students in one school system, they could end up not getting into GHP at all and still end up at a great university. Conversely, if a school system does not have very strong students, they could send weaker students to GHP, who would not necessarily do as well in the college selection process.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Times; line-height: 28px;"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Times; line-height: 28px;">2) The GHP nomination process is managed independently by each school system, not centrally by Georgia. So, each school system can select whoever they want, using whatever criteria they want. They aren't necessarily using the same selection criteria as Harvard/Princeton/Yale/MIT/etc. It could just be the teachers' favorite students. Relatedly (and this is anecdotal, so take it with a grain of salt), it seems like the interview process is weighed very heavily in the selection process. So, a student who comes across as very mature in interviews would do well in the GHP process, but if later they received a poor SAT score, wouldn't do nearly as well in the college process. In fact, because a lot of colleges don't do interviews at all, they're looking at a totally different student!</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Times; line-height: 28px;"><br></span></div><div><font face="Times"><span style="line-height: 28px;">3) Students are nominated for specific categories. So, for example, a very talented piano player could be nominated purely for her piano playing by the music teacher at her school, and would have a good shot at getting into GHP as long as she performed well at her audition, but would not necessarily get into a good college if she doesn't have good grades as well. To give another example, a student could be a gifted short story writer, with a low overall high school GPA and get into GHP based on the strength of her short stories. However, in the college process, her low GPA (and possibly low overall SAT score) would hinder her ability to get into a top school. In short, GHP requires you only be to strong in ONE area, whereas top colleges require you to do at least above average in ALL academic areas. </span></font></div></div>
