[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly, no. She'll get into a great school, but not top 10. [/quote] Many state schools want to see SOMETHING that contributes to the community. What does she do with her spare time? There are hundreds of thousands of applicants who work, care for a grandparent or sibling, play sports, theater, music, whatever. Is her common app for activities going to be blank? Volunteer blank? Leadership blank? if so, she will be in for a very rough ride. There are plenty of kids who are "gifted" and get "good grades" who also do productive things with their non-academic time and have something to show for it. That is her competition.[/quote]
