[quote=Anonymous]To make a "barb" look legitimate to an top5 admissions committee, a student can't just join a club. They need national-level awards, published research, or significant, measurable impact in that specific micro-field. Forcing a high schooler to spend thousands of hours over four years doing intense, rigorous work in an obscure field they actually don't care about is psychological torture. Even if a student successfully fakes a passion for four years, gets into Harvard, and switches to a major they actually like, they arrive on campus having spent their entire adolescence living a fabricated narrative. Burnout among these types of students is notoriously high.[/quote]
