[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DS got in last year with a $20K per year merit scholarship.[/quote]

Do you mind sharing stats and major?[/quote]

CS major, 35 ACT, 3.7 UW GPA. He also got $30,000 a year at Northeastern but ultimately chose state flagship.[/quote]

Congratulations. Could I ask, did he have a "hook"?[/quote]

No. Fairly normal EC like Eagle Scout, Varsity 3 season sports, state orchestra, hackathons. And started a successful business.[/quote]

This is what we’ve come to, where these ECs are considered fairly normal.[/quote]

Yep. At first, I thought it was novel to see school kids starting nonprofits and publishing books. Then, I realized it was for college acceptance purposes. I wonder how many nonprofits and such have been abandoned once the college acceptance came?

I think back to being a kid, and I did things because I loved them.

It’s sad, really. I notice how calculating lots of teens are rather than just exploring this time being young and curious. [/quote]
