[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, most of the time high schoolers are not establishing non-profits or getting fancy internships without a lot of parental help. I hope that most AOs have figured that out, but who knows. The best advice we got was to have our DCs participate in ECs that are authentic to them because it makes high school more enjoyable and when it's time to apply for college, there's a consistent and believable story to tell. Oldest DD (an unhooked student who had great grades/test scores/recommendations, but didn't have any ECs beyond varsity sports and other school engagement) just finished sophomore year at an ivy. Younger sibling (graduating this year) had the same, but did have a very unique summer project that fit her interests and showed a lot of initiative. She is headed to HYP this fall. High school should be it's own experience. Not everything needs to be done with an eye towards college admissions.[/quote] You are leaving something out or you're a troll. Donated a building? Legacy? Something. Your normal and average kid did not get accepted to HYP without a hook. Full pay? [/quote]
