[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You don’t have to participate. It’s not required. 
You can still go to a good college in the U.S.

My DC did not treat this as a competition or “race.”  Was not “pruned since MS” nor in HS. Did what they wanted and as much as they wanted. None of it done for college admissions

Super smart, kind, and efficient. Deserves what they got… unhooked, early acceptance to an ivy. Public flagship does not have the same opportunities for what they want to do.

Agree, the rat race sucks. So don’t race. 
I don’t race - I worked hard because I like to. I live a balanced life, not chasing achievement or money or material stuff. But I do well because I’m efficient and work fast and work hard. [/quote]

+1 my kid also just did what they wanted. Turned down things they did not want to commit too, for peace of mind or balance. People thought my kid was crazy for not playing the game. But had exceptional results.

Colleges want kids who are pursuing and excelling at things they love! [/quote]
