[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Straight As is meaningless given how easy it is to get there. And there are a ton of kids with MAP scores in that range. Clearly an impressive kid, but unfortunately not unique or special. [/quote]

I don’t think it’s just the A matters. The strong stem awards would make the child stand out as not many have that[/quote]

I wonder how the committee check if the kid has the awards? We are not supposed to put any identifyable information on the essay. Kids might as well lie and make up the awards. [/quote]

The awards don't go in the essay. [/quote]

How would the committee know of the awards? It’s supposed to be a blind admission.[/quote]
There are three boxes of awards/interests/etc of 25 words each. I don’t know how to catch someone lying but parents shouldn’t make their kids lying to get into a program. If they cheat this time, they’ll cheat in the future and one day they’ll be caught.
