[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Newbie parent here. What does "pointy" mean? [/quote] particularly deep in a one or two (complementary) subject area that shows up in academic choices, extracurriculars, and achievements[/quote] The thing is, some kids are naturally like this. I think those are the kids that get into top schools. Not the kids who are packaged to look this way. [/quote] Agree. Also, the podcast Inside the Yale Admissions Office discussed this. They only interview kids “they need more information on”, one reason is to sniff the authenticity of this out and ensure no obscure interest is trying to game the system. [/quote]
