[quote=Anonymous]I hear you, too. I have one in college and one in high school. It's really the very top schools where "passion" is the theme du jour. Schools at the top are getting 30,000 applications for a 1000 places and probably 10,000 are " qualified." They need a way to chop that number down fast. Enter the new qualification of "passion." I must say, though, from whom I have seen getting accepted, most of these passions are genuine. It's not like you can create a passion that is not there, so there is not much you can so. That said, the whole college application process is about the student getting to know him or herself and finding the right school for who the kid is, and not who the parent wants him or her to be. In other words, relax. It's fine not to have a passion. Let your kid take the lead and stay out of it as much as you can. It will work just fine.[/quote]
