[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"What is impressive to top schools" is the wrong question to ask about what your kid should be involved in. Instead, focus on questions like "what are the things my kid can take on that will give them opportunities to grow in capability, skills, leadership, responsibility, empathy, and maturity?" Very often, the answer to that will be "getting an evening/weekend job", and, like the first response in this thread, I'm not kidding. People posting above about a job (or any other activity) being easily faked are completely missing the point of both this exercise and, honestly, of being a parent. Focus on the things that will make your kid a better person.[/quote] How sensible and true. But moving on, since my child lacks the ability to grow in capability, skills, leadership, responsibility, empathy, and maturity, how can I game the system so she can get into Stanford anyway?
