[quote=Anonymous]We did the college tour two years ago and are gearing up again. The whole "well rounded" thing is now passé and colleges say they are looking for "pointy" kids with demonstrated passions. This was at the selective and highly-selective colleges we toured, and we heard this over and over. By passions, they apparently don't mean a heartfelt essay about how a kid wants to go into healthcare and save the world. They mean the kid has an extensive track record in, say, volunteering at community health care organizations and in school ECs that involve international and local service. Agree that public universities aren't as concerned with ECs.[/quote]
