[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you think Ivy admissions look at some of these kids and think, "he just doesn't seem like a cool kid?" I mean, you read these descriptions the parents are providing here and all I can think is, do they even have a life? Know who they are? Want anything in life other than admission to Harvard or Yale? Don't they want kids who they know have a desire to make the world--not themselves--a better place? Who will be interesting, engaging members of their school community? Can just too much stuff (I'm thinking the recent illustration of "top tier ECs") just be a giant turn off? I know this sounds like I'm being mean. I'm not trying to. My kids could never ever get into one of these schools and I am impressed by many of these ambitious kids. But some just seem, I don't know, too ambitious. And their parents seen downright obnoxious.[/quote]

Wow.  You people won’t stop blaming these kids and their families.  You don’t just sound like you are being mean, you are absolutely being mean to kids you do not even know.  It’s pretty much the Asian robot stereotype again.[/quote]
