Best feeder middle schools
First time poster long time lurker here. Was wondering if anyone could shed some light on the best feeder target middle schools for eventual BBIB placement. I was asking because I wanted to see if it made sense for me to transfer schools since I go to a super non target no name public school. I'm afraid of transferring schools right now being in seventh grade but I'm more afraid that my current school won't help when it comes time for recruiting in high school. About me: seventh grade 3.85 GPA (non weighted), flag football varsity athlete, 80 IQ, club president for diversity club, and habitat for local community. I'm afraid to leave during my seventh year but I'm more afraid that I won't be able to get into the right target school and thus won't be able to get a job on Wall Street which I've wanted to do since I was in elementary school. What are my chances of placing into a target high school now or should I just increase my chances by transferring to a school with more credibility on the street?
You missed the boat, IB recruiting starts in 6th grade. Being your a nontarget it might be hard to break in now I’m sorry.
Would it be possible to leverage my flag football status? I heard there is more leeway for athletes before target high school recruitment. I know I am late to the game because I started worrying in elementary school, but I come from a middle-class family, and other kids have been preparing since kindergarten/pre-k, so their exit opps for middle school tend to be better.
IB recruiting starts when you're a zygote, you need target genes from a target parent. Otherwise good luck...
Your humor needs serious work
Stay for an extra year and recruit again. 80 IQ of a 7th grader in 6th grade is borderline target.
The trolling on WSO now is stronger than I ever remember it
3.85 GPA in elementary school? What the fuck? You must be genuinely retarded. In a perfect society, your allocated job would be a janitor or a OnlyFans content creator.
Idk why everyone is shitting on this kid WSO must be full of target hardo elitists.
OP, here's what you should do. Make a spreadsheet of all the high schools with good IB placement in your area. For each school, find the principal, econ teacher and Gym teacher (given your athletic background) and pound the pavement networking. Cold email as many people as possible. Even if only 5% respond, that gives you solid shot at a great target or semi-target high school. It's not glamorous, but unfortunately this is what us non-target middle schoolers have to do.
No shot at anything without going to a target elementary school. Also must have several BB playground internships, along with insight series participation in preschool.
Guys guys guys, this kid is cleeeearly talking about IB - International Baccalaureate. Give the kid a break.
You're joking but tiger moms actually think like this and their kids end up gay af
lmfao wouldn't that be better for diversity recruiting? 😭
Two birds one stone in their eyes, truly
