[quote=Anonymous]RMIB is as hard as you want to make it.  If she wants to keep up her hobby, that is probably a good idea even in terms of college admissions, as long as you and she understand that means she will be getting Bs.

She will have enough rigor so that even if she gets Bs in her two hardest subjects every quarter she will get a 3.7 uw and something like a 4.4 weighted.

If her hobby is impressive enough, she still has a shot at an Ivy.  In some ways, she is what they are looking for, someone who knows what they want and is willing to give up other things to get it.

Others will argue I am crazy and she has no chance but if you look at the naviance chart, it happens.

If the hobby is not really solitary, there should be a way to show leadership.  If the hobby is popular, then they probably have a club for it and they are looking for people to eventually be club president.

It may not be as big of a hook as recruited athlete, but they are looking to build a community and they have lots of positions to fill.  If they admit only athletes, then they might not have a president of their outdoor or cooking club.[/quote]
