[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In the future a lot more top kids will be graduating from state schools, because that's where many more will be.[/quote] Intellectually, I know this is correct. I still think it's tough on the kids going through the process now. Unfortunately, we - as parents - have created a series of expectations that must be difficult to bear. I look back on my own experience, multiple Ivy accepts and I am not brilliant (either as measured by GPA or SAT scores) and didn't have nearly the breadth of EC stuff that seems to be standard nowadays. And I just worked as a camp counselor in the summers![/quote] Yeah but the SAT was harder when we took it! :wink: ('S True. You can look it up.) Joking aside, excellent point that we bring our own experiences to the party, and things have changed. I played a sport in college (and was even pretty good at it at the collegiate level) and I wouldn't get a glance from the coach today. [/quote]
