I dont think so.

AOS parent.

Really? Then why do kids prepare so hard for these tests? And going through lot of stress if they can get in or not

That is a very good question.
A lot of people are just chasing exclusivity.

Ultimately, more challenging academics early prepare you for more challenging academics later.
And for most of these kids, the college they go to isn't terribly important as long as they get into a top 50-100 school because this will not be their terminal degree.
If they can get into a top 10 school then undergrad might make a difference but a doctor that went to johns hopkins medical school and harvard undergrad is almost indistinguishable from one that went to harvard medical school and maryland undergrad. Same for lawyers. Same for pretty much every graduate degree.

I mean, what kind of collage are they trying to make?

Like, cut out magazine images pasted together, or some sort of art deco idea with colored wax paper? Or maybe just some printed out pictures of them and their friends fro a bedroom wall?
