[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My magnet kid, 1580 SAT (800 math), 10+ APs, including 5 in calc , straight As, 4.9 wgpa with zero STEM related activities, but has others, was shut out at T15 for CS. Got into UMD. CS is super tough. IMO, your kid needs more STEM related activities. We went the too well rounded route, and I don't think that helped.[/quote] OP here, I think that more STEM activities might help him get into T15 CS, or at least increase the very low odds to slightly less low odds. I don't know that I see a benefit to T15 over UMD for this particular kid though, so in my mind he's fine as he is, and doesn't "need" more STEM. But I also want him steering the ship, and right now he's saying that maybe he wants to shift to more STEM EC's. I'm fine with him shifting, but if he does then I want it based on reality. The idea that he won't get in "anywhere" is clearly absurd, so I'm trying to figure out what the actual impact could be. [/quote]
