[quote=Anonymous]I have a very capable generalist who is quite intellectual, and we'll just shoot for T20s and related. She was just diagnosed with mild autism and has a very high IQ. I now understand why she wants nothing to do with leadership positions and has trouble volunteering, because at her age, it's all mostly based on social interactions. It's a shame: she's so competent. She loves to read and do little crafts at home, but that's not anything that's remotely impressive to Admission Officers. I know: my older kid had an excellent GPA and is a total bookworm, and it didn't translate to anything in the T20 acceptance range (he's at a GWU, and doing well). Admissions Officers in the first and second tier of schools want Wow Factor, which is a little hard on introverts and people who are good at everything but don't stand out in anything in particular. Colleges want to build a well-rounded freshman class, composed of pointy students. [/quote]
