[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So its all lies just to get into an Ivy? What a sham.. what kind of environment will this create on the campus.. all fake people doing fake activities to get a piece of paper that says they went to Harvard..[/quote]

Where is the lie or the sham?  Kids really get those grades and scores and really do the ECs.  All are real not fake.  What are you talking about?[/quote]

Its all lies because the kids are not doing xyz because they are passionate about something or have a specific interest in something. They are consciously curating their resume based on what activity will get them into an Ivy. If you don’t see a difference between a kid who has actually pursued his own interest vs brainstorming an activity that will get them into college than you are not very bright.[/quote]

Exactly! Someone is telling them oh you should do this activity and this is how you should do it and here are all the resources you need to do it.. 
this process can only make a great robot.[/quote]
