[quote=Anonymous]Nephew got into every engineering school he applied to not because of grades or lots of APs (he took maybe 1-2 and grades/test scores above average but not stellar). It was because of his work experience with his uncle's wireless company and helping him at some high profile events that occur every 4 years and every certain holiday in Times Square. A great extracurricular helps. DD got money despite having less than a 4.0 and not taking many APs (3-4) because she has her own business and is devoted to 1 extracurricular and had some family circumtances that made for compelling essays. These kids also didn't shoot for the moon and apply where they were long shots. There are acceptances and money for 2nd tier schools if you are on the cusp of being a top tier candidate.[/quote]
