[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So tired of all the advice that kids have to be pointy. My kid rising sophomore is a regular kid with interests in sports, sneakers, and girls. Somehow in the next two years, heβs supposed to develop deep intellectual interests, do innovative research, or somehow be the best in his field at something. Is this real, or do normal kids have a chance at Ivy admissions? Parents of Ivy admits, can you share what your kids ECs were?[/quote] I have two kids at ivies and they were super pointy. I think any college that is taking 1 out of every 25 apps should be tossed onto your list as a "why not?" and not something your should package your kids childhood around. if your kid is naturally pointy, I think that's probably a plus. if you kid doesnt have a deep intellectual interest, do research, or is the best in his area of strength, I'd take a closer look at colleges take 1 in 10 or 1 in 5...[/quote]
