[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agree. Gone are the days of the kid who is a varsity athlete, class president, and founder of multiple school clubs being the " ideal candidate. They want kids who are passionate about something and have already shown that passion in their choices. [/quote] This is why we've relaxed and told our kids to focus on state schools they like and not the Ivies that we attended. We were the well-rounded types of the past, but what we've seen in our professional lives is that Ivies now tend to select and graduate idiosyncratic types who have very interesting resumes and inflated egos. A top grad from Mayland or JMU will outperform the Princeton or Brown grad in the workplace at most of the time.[/quote]
