[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thank you to everyone who gave a helpful, non-aggressive answer. The takeaway seems to be that DD can’t simply develop a spike and that it is just something people are born with. Whether this is true or not, people seem to think it’s best to just give up trying to get into a top school. This is disappointing as it’s been DD’s dream for a while. Am I getting the gist? [/quote] It is not true that they need a spike for a top school. Focus on academics, volunteering, SATs and doing what she is interested in. My two "well rounded, non-spikey kids" both got into t10[/quote] Same here. No need to give up.[/quote]
