[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Like so many straight A students who were chief school newspaper editor, captain of a varsity sports team, volunteering, and more who can't even get to VA Tech. I don't know what people who get into schools like Michigan or the Ivy Leagues are doing in high school. [/quote]

My daughter's friend who got into Yale was an Asian male with a very high wGPA who won Science Olympiad competitions and is an advanced string player.

Straight A doesn't mean anything, OP, you should know this. There is a world's difference between an A in a regular classs and an A in an AP class. [b]Kids who get into the top colleges have 10+ APs, have a national level EC, etc. [/b]Your newpaper editing and team captainship worked a generation ago, but not today. [/quote]

This is sounds exhausting. Kids have no time to be kids.[/quote]
They have a ton of time. It's really not that unachievable. We have a ton of college options. If you don't want to be competitive for the top ones, tap out and go to a decent one.[/quote]

If you go to school all day, play sports after school, eat dinner and have hours of homework, how the hell do you have a ton if time? [/quote]
