[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I think your kid is fine. From what I saw this year, kids with more diverse ECs were getting into "top" schools than ones like mine that had more STEM focus. My kid has known what they want in STEM for years and already has had paid jobs and awards for that but sadly probably looked like everyone else. Definitely not worth adjusting ECs for some hope of admissions. Better to do stuff he likes and then hope to stand out. No one truly knows what it takes. I find the state of college admissions today rather sad. [/quote] Fully agree. My DC got in very good engineering schools with no STEM ECs. Writing strong statements about your DC's passions a nd non-STEM activities will get you further than trying to prove DC is at the top of the math pyramid (unless DC is at the very top). Top schools have room for accomplished round students, not only for math geniuses.[/quote]
