[quote=Anonymous]To get into top tier, you need top scores but you also need something else and unique. It’s not something that you can generally plan though for, you have to be “lucky” that whatever you chose will mean something to colleges when it’s time. Don’t push on athletics. Do it because your kid likes it not because of HPY. Colleges are dropping non revenue producing sports programs right and left. Revenue producing ones are almost impossible to get recruited for and you are super lucky to have a kid at that level. I see so many kids trying to impress colleges with fakish clubs etc. The Ivies see right through this. Encourage an outside passion because it’s meaningful to your child or your family and maybe it will work out and maybe it won’t in terms of getting into HYP. If you do this end your kid doesn’t get into a top Ivy, your kid is still an interesting person that’s not burned out and feels like they wasted their life. [/quote]
