[quote=Anonymous]I would like to think they will get smarter about weeding out all of the bogus, manufactured spikes. But as the number of applications continues to grow, admissions officers will have less and less time to actually think about the applications they are reading so it will become harder for them to pick them out. As a well-rounded Ivy grad married to a well-rounded Ivy grad and the parent of a very well-rounded, non-spiky kid who has Ivy caliber grades and lots of great, diverse XCs that are more interesting than some spiky kid who can only talk about one thing, I am really hoping for the end of the spike trend.[/quote]
