[quote=Anonymous]If I read about another kid who is president of six clubs, three varsity sports, perfect GPA, 15+ APs, helps six old ladies a day cross the street and cured cancer, I will puke. I used to help people with MBA apps and I know a number of people who got rejected because they were over-qualified. The schools thought they were too far along in their careers and it didn't really make sense. I feel that way about some of these HS kids. I would prefer a kid who is really smart (but not 4.0/1600), very good but not great at a few interesting activities, social without being overly gregarious. Confident yet has some natural anxiety. They are the ones who will actually add the most to a college campus and also get the most out of it. Unfortunately, that ship has sailed. All superstars, all the time.[/quote]
