[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That is an extra. [/quote] I am looking at other kid's extras and they are in like 2 sports year round, nation honor, volunteering etc. [/quote] But your kid is different. Stop thinking there is a formula. Celebrate the kid you have. Don't send the message that he needs to fit some cookie cutter image. He should be honest about his unique mix of strengths, and a school that values that will welcome him. [/quote] I agree, but the new admissions format de-emphasize traditional excellence of high test scores. How do we let them know he's doing something out of the ordinary and not get passed if he doesn't have the 10000x activities and volunteering? FYI we also are looking for a place that will help propel his business and tech interests. Any suggestions for schools that look for future tech leaders would be helpful. [/quote]
