[quote=Anonymous]My kid was an REA admit at HYP and here is how she approached it. She told me at the beginning of high school that she wanted to work hard and get good grades and be in the top 10%-ish, but she wasn’t going to sacrifice having a social life and doing ECs that she loved, having time to walk in the woods etc for perfect stats. I said great! Public school kid, no hooks, worked hard, but didn’t make herself crazy, and definitely left time in her life for things that she loved. We did no “ prepping” she just took the standard rigourous courseload that a lot of kids took and did some Khan Academy SAT practice. When it came time to apply to college, she had very good (but not perfect) stats. But what she also had was, an application that showed deep commitment to things that were important to her. Remember that those lottery tickets schools are practising holistic admissions and the stats are just the hoop you jump through to be considered in the next round. [/quote]
