[quote=Anonymous]You folks don't really get how admissions works at the top universities. They don't care about valedictorians. They are looking for that "special something" and it's usually not something on paper. I interview for one of the "holy grail" universities, and I have excellent "smell sense" for who's actually going to get in, and they don't look any different on paper from the others. Many times they don't look as fabulous on paper as others do. They are interesting kids who are interested in stuff. No one cares if they're number 1 or number 50 at TJ. You're pushing your kids so hard. Please stop. I get depressed after some of these interviews -- I want to hug the kids and tell them it's going to be okay and some day they'll actually figure out who they are and it's okay not to know. It's okay to let your guard down. It's okay to not be doing worthy stuff every minute of every day. It's okay just to be. [/quote]
