[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My white, completely unhooked kid was accepted this year to an Ivy engineering program after taking a max of calculus AB in high school. And no AP computer science either.

Yep. For my kid it the same.   DC admitted this cycle as an engineering major to one of the top 5 engineering schools and one of the top schools in the country. Ended with Calc BC completed junior year. His HS did not offer any math above that. All A's in all math. Academic awards. 2 varsity team sports and captain of one.  Also a lot of leadership activities and roles in HS. No robotics and no school engineering clubs. Nothing wrong with these I might add and they can be good I'm sure, my kid was just too busy with sports and the time they consumed. I kept hearing we are looking for well rounded students.  I think any parent giving advice to their kids this should be it.  BTW, in my opinion, don't waste your time or money on engineering camps.  My kid did one and we thought it was a complete waste of time. Again, just my opinion.  Hope it helps.[/quote]
