[quote=Anonymous]My daughter got into her top choice school. I didn't think she would, honestly. Her grades weren't the best. But some of her peers with a higher GPA and test scores didn't get in to the same school so here's my one thing: Your kid must be able to talk to adults and have basic adult-world skills like email communication and timely follow-up, and to use those skills on the admissions folks. Articulate and thoughtful + engaged and proactive wrt the admission process > top grades and test scores. If I were to do something [i]different[/i], I would have been way more strict (heartless, even) about screen time and phone use. She struggled a bit with phone addiction. [/quote]
