[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't have a problem with "We". But you cannot create a spike where there isn't one, OP, not at the end of 9th grade. If she chooses to focus intensively on one aspect of her life, and ends up in the fall of 12th grade with several pieces of evidence that she has progressed to at least a regional, if not national or international level, then great! But how likely is it? Most kids with a splinter skill were preparing for it, whether they knew it or not, years before high school. They had the conditioning to go far in their sports, or the music background to win major competitions, or the STEM knowledge to do well in Robotics or Math or Science events. Also, schools ranked 30-50 are as selective now as higher-ranked schools used to be a few years ago. So don't even think about T20. Think about building the best possible profile to open as many doors as possible. Maybe it will be a lower-ranked school, with merit aid and a nice Honors dorm. If that happens, you should be happy.
