[quote=Anonymous]When we parents were applying to college, few, if any kids did test prep and few, if any, kids selected extracurricular activities based on “what would look good on a college application.” It has become an arms race, with the new “normal” far exceeding what used to be stellar credentials. I feel sorry for kids today, especially those who were told that if they did X, Y, and Z they’d be competitive for colleges like A, B, and C. I still believe kids and parents should focus on themselves and not on what others are doing. Do what’s best for your kid, and stop trying to keep up with the Joneses. Your child will find the right place. Also set the right expectations from the beginning. [/quote]
