[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just have a perfectly nice regular kid. Not a stellar athlete nor a drama maven nor a superstar all APs academic - just a regular old good kid. I am feeling just - tense - with so much college noise. Hooked/unhooked, legacy, etc etc - just - it's all so much. I do not remember it being this way when I was growing up. I'd been coming to this board and just seeing the posts make me feel geared up. Is anyone else feeling like me? I wouldn't call my kid "awesomely average" (I know that's a Facebook group) but just not like - "special" in the way it feels like you need to be now either? Like he's just a well-rounded kid who does some clubs, plays a sport at a decent but not standout level, and is nice with plenty of friends? Where are these parents, where are my people? [/quote] Your child is going to do very well in college admissions. You should only be stressed if you want your child to only go to T20. DS is pretty much like you describe your kid and had plenty of good options last year. Got off a waitlist at the last minute at a T20 but declined to go there.[/quote]
