[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]College advisors are telling parents to send their kids to intensive research programs for the summer while in high school. But I think that's a mistake given the interest in pointy applicants. Once you hit the threshold for smartness, you can't distinguish yourself with more smartness. You need something to make you different. "Some are obnoxious and some are not like every other college. But they all seem to have some freakish talent in addition to string all overall academics. All the ones that went to the top of the top were uber competitive musicians, or scientists, or athletes, or artists, etc." [/quote] Attending a research program is not enough...they need to do distinguished work in the program. Get it published.[/quote]
