[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mine got into P. as a rowing recruit from another elite private here. The only other kid who was accepted to P. her yearwas a kid who was Class Pres. for 6 years. That kid went elsewhere. I think your D.D. Has a shot. She needs to write exceptional essays + have exceptional references. It would help if she could get an award + do something cool like start online music classes for poor kids + start an instrument donation campaign. Good luck to her![/quote]

Isn't it way too late for a senior to start something and be taken seriously before college application season?[/quote]

It's annoying how they start new non-profits rather than get credit for working for existing ones. I find it ridiculous for high school kids to be CEOs of these new non-profits, when they have enough on their plates to get through their classes. [/quote]

They can get credit for working for existing ones.  Mine showed  a four year commitment to an established non- profit, among other accomplishments and was accepted.[/quote]

That's the way it should be, and congrats to your kid.  I think this "create a non-profit" thing came after the pay thousands to "volunteer in a developing country" trend. Hopefully the non-profit CEO thing disappears soon too.[/quote]
