[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, this is a well-known strategy among private school kids, especially those using independent college counselors. I have two STEM major kids and we are Asian Americans and I knew it was going to be an uphill battle, but I could not get them to do any extracurriculars that are related to a humanities major when their interests and strengths were entirely in STEM. I also think that teaching kids to fake an interest in some subject that is not the kid's actual interest is not really something to be encouraged. In the end, my kids did not get into HYPSM, but they did get into several T20 schools and I think they'll do fine. [/quote] It’s not as easy as that, even with independent college advisors. The kids who are that pliable aren’t that passionate, and it will show. But if you are a bonafide smart humanities kid, especially a boy, I think the college admissions world is your oyster right now![/quote]
