[quote=Anonymous]Is she a freshman? Things like internships, mentorships, research opportunities, career fairs, alumni connections, etc. all kick in later on. And there's still going to be competition for those, because highly selective admissions means everyone who got in is pretty much equally good (in theory, anyway). But if she's expecting everything to be handed to her just because she had a good SAT score and worked hard in high school, she won't be first in line for those opportunities. It can be really challenging for kids who were always at the top of their classes in high school to suddenly be one among a few thousand kids just like them. And, it seems, for parents who think their super-special child deserves equally special treatment.[/quote]
