[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How did it get so lopsided when it comes to the college admissions rat race??? I hear a lot of parents blaming the Common App but is that really the root cause of this insanity? These kids are taking double digit AP courses, aiming for above 1500 or 35 on standardized tests, and belting out more essays than humanly expected from top writers in the world in the matter of a few months. What is wrong with our culture on this?[/quote] It's also a particularly bad rat race if you are a NoVa kid gunning for UVA. I get why people do it, but it really is a lot of pressure for these kids. My kid has no interest in UVA and luckily we can afford to say he doesn't have to even consider it.[/quote]
