[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This probably does get a kid into HPYSM, but it’s highly contrived, and thus, sad. It’s like the parent is applying to college.

We knew a case where a parent helped a kid do this and it was successful, but everyone who knew the kid and family knew this was the game plan since elementary school. The dad managed the kid’s life from 0-18 and probably is still at it. In the end, I’m not sure where this really gets a kid. I guess we’ll find out in 10-15 years.  [/quote]

I know a family like this. My kid was in the local newspapers and the family copied my kid’s project. Ok both got into Harvard. We met at some award ceremony and our school had published all my kid’s awards while their school had not said too much about the other kid. Turns out they have a younger daughter who then copied all my kid’s activities except she could not win the awards! Obviously Dad or Mom was directing their activities. I recently found out they are donors — lol no wonder younger kid also got in! It’s ridiculous how much these parents are doing for their kids.

And I bet the younger kid will copy all my kid’s clubs and activities at Harvard. [/quote]
