[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She’s not getting into either if she’s not mature enough to be contacting professors or seeing which is a better fit, research-wise. Sorry. These schools want to accept kids who are already functioning at a graduate-school level. Why waste time on a kid who isn’t pro-active and self-motivated enough to discern which is a better school for her interests? [/quote] This is absurdity, IMO. Many of these applicants are 17 years old. They like neuroscience from biology or AP Psych. My kid is a freshman at one of these schools. Not in neuroscience, but she would never have done that and I would have discouraged her from contacting a professor as a high school student. High school seniors are children. My husband is a professor, graduate level. This sounds over the top.[/quote] +100 hardly any of the freshmen are at a graduate school level. Maybe a handful of kids are. That’s about it [/quote]
