[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]12:02 To me [b]she's wishing she knew then what she knows now[/b], and that her parents were more involved, so she would have gotten in on merit. I wonder if you're misreading her a bit there. As the mother of a high schooler, I can tell you that there are plenty of projects that are showcases rather than passions. Many students seem to care more about getting into college than they care about their community service or personal fundraising projects. [/quote] I call BS on this one. She wasn't raised in a family that had no idea what it takes to get accepted into an Ivy League; she's got 3 older sisters, for crying out,and one of them, supposedly, went to Columbia. I suspect she did try the extracurriculars, but just wasn't good enough to stand out in any of them.[/quote]
