[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I interview kids for the HYP (not S) I went to. I've seen several kids with passion projects of ~1000 users that did not get in. Entrepreneurship in and of itself does not seem to be valued by my school. Accomplishments that have been in my observation more valued tend to be ones where the student is evaluated by a panel of experts, such as state or national science fairs, getting into a competitive state department study abroad program, prestigious summer programs like Ross - or TASP before it went off the deep end, etc. Adcoms value the input of panels that think and behave like adcoms.[/quote] This is true in our family's experience too. I went to a HYPSM (and got into others in this group). I was an alternate in a program akin to a state dept study abroad program that was very competitive. DS is at a selective LAC. He had state wide recognition from the Governor's school summer program in our state. [/quote]
