[quote=Anonymous]Does it sound grim and sad? You just need to know what games are being played by many who get in. Yes, there are the very amazing Nathan Chens of the world but they are few and far between. Your kid is not going to become a Nathan Chen. Don't be the idealistic person who thinks that your honesty, sincerity, academic record and dedication will be rewarded and then be heartbroken. Either you play the game or you become ok about finding alternate routes to success. And yes, alternate and sane routes to success exist. You have to be ok with your kid applying to MIT and Princeton but not getting in. It is like a lottery, apply but don't be crushed if you don't get in. If you get in, be happy and hope that you will make good friends. [/quote]
