[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Zero ECs that mattered…he plays piano, soccer and practices BJJ. But nothing extraordinary like hundreds of the ECs I’ve seen here…[/quote]

Your kid sounds amazing and congrats.  I do think some of your posts are hiding the ball.  You say he got in with no APs and no ECs, when he actually has coursework that is equivalent or better than APs, and he has some traditional ECs and on top of that spends his time doing theoretical math in a way he can concretely prove, which he basically can write about as an EC and did.  It just shows that the rest of us need to read posts knowing we are unlikely to be getting the full story when there is what seems to be an outlier story.  [/quote]

The outlier is this kid is obviously a math genius. These types of kids do not need Crazy ECs or a “hook”. Their hook is their brain. This is not normal. Only schools like the ones he applied to (MIT, Princeton, etc) would see through an application like that. I bet that if this kid applied to another t20 outside these top Math programs, he might not have had a chance with the lack of amazing ECs and AOs who dont understand the subject…[/quote]
