[quote=Anonymous]Shameful if Eagle is not valued. If done correctly it is a testament to leadership, dedication, and internal motivation. If an AO thinks its is toxic then that is a place that will not get my $$$. Im getting fed up with this; why are some activities toxic and others get the praises of rainbows (elected happiness captain of the hurt feelings club at school?) Real life is NOT everyone gets a trophy and everyone has an equal outcome. Sorry but not sorry that I for one think all of this holistic admission, TO stuff is utter horse-crap, esp in the STEM fields where outcomes can mean life and death (I want the doctor who knows their shit factually despite their somewhat less than warm and fuzzy personality, I want the person designing infrastructure to be wicked smart at what they do as well). Kids should be looked at based on their actual numerical stats, teacher recommendations that speak to their ability in the classroom and their more touchy-feely qualities, and whether or not they spent their time outside of school doing productive things. All of the other stuff is just "resume padding". So many college professors are saying that the students just are not ready for the coursework. [/quote]
