[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If ECs only marginally have something to do with the intended major, that is an obvious sign of coaching. [/quote] Nonsense. It's perfectly normal for kids to have a wide range of interests. I'd say that on the contrary, the applications where everything dovetails too much are suspect - but that's just the applications that get selected! Which is why families in the know engineer their kids' applications to make everything fit smoothly. The families who don't know submit normal apps in which kids explore various interests in a natural fashion. They don't get an admissions boost. It's the strategically packaged apps who get the boost. Let's all be clear on that.[/quote]
