[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I really don’t understand the term “rigorous academics.” It completely depends on the child’s major. A chemistry degree at nowhere school is going to be way harder than a sociology degree at Yale.[/quote] She's talking less about the challenge of the curriculum and more about the peer group, I think. She wants to go to a school where people are like her. She's plenty social but also has a huge "grind" side to her personality. She takes school really seriously and truly digs into the academics. Same with her sports. She's just wired this way. Self-driven and willing to put in 110% just because. So she'd love to end up at a school with a culture that fits that. With peers who are similarly driven so she doesn't feel like the odd one out. But with big sports and a fun campus culture. It's the work hard/play hard kind of thing. [/quote]
