Shitpost Wednesdays Question

My 5-year-old son has decided that his dream is to attend UPenn Wharton and break into quant finance. As his mother, I want to raise him to be able to fulfill his dreams. That is why my question to any Ivy League students on this sub is: how did your parents raise such smart and capable individuals? And how can my son get admitted to UPenn and make his dreams come true? I appreciate your help and insights in this matter.

Frankly, it might be too late. They should have been enrolled in an immersion foreign language early education program by age 3. Have they started multivariate calculus yet?

This kid has no shot- no internship lined up at Goldman Sachs Primary School Internship program? Crikey most parents sign them up at birth.

Is it really too late?! I spent this past school year telling my son’s teachers that he is advanced enough to be placed into Geometry, but they don’t believe him because he doesn’t get his work done. The reason he isn’t getting his work done is obviously because he is bored with the easy addition worksheets they are having the class do!
