[quote=Anonymous]I have several friends in NYC with kids with these profiles:

1. In multiple Broadway productions over many years, an exceptional singer, at LaGuardia highschool, top grades. Double Ivy legacy, accomplished/semi-famous parents. Very likely heading to HYP

2. A kid at Trinity/Horace Mann (don’t want to out him) with straight As who played a team sport since age 6 and was privately coached on the side by an Olympic gold medalist for years. An excellent chess player too. Brilliant, everything comes easy to him. Great sense of humor, very kind. Ended up at MIT. Was not recruited for the sport but walked on the team.

3. Top 5% student at Stuyvesant (in a class of 900), a talented guitar player, started her own band back in middle school. Many debate team awards, including national level. She is gorgeous and a great writer too. Wrote a poignant poem as a gift to our family when our dog died that had me laughing and crying. I have it framed and look at it fondly often. Rooting for her to land at her dream college.

Sorry DMV area. Fierce competition is not unique to this area. In fact, the top NYC kids would run circles around ours.
