[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]some of this, yes.
mine didn't have national award but more or less had the rest of what you listed. but nothing done for college resume sake, all just whatever she wanted to spend their time doing.
yes, she also has an amazing friend group, goes to prom/homecoming, and has a boyfriend. spends time with us parents and with siblings. was also doing daily intensive treatment of a medical issue throughout high school.  and still has plenty of free time to hang out, watch movies, go out for walks, play HS sports.  it's the kids who still have tons of free time despite having flawless transcripts/great ECs - those are the ones getting in unhooked.

This mine in unhooked top 10, school comes naturally, no studying for the most part and is able to process things quicky and 36 ACT one sitting and refused to really prep for testing. SAT math was "super easy." Schools can tell who is natural or who is genuine, for the most part. [/quote]

My child who got in is like this too. 36 one sitting despite not really sleeping before because they were at a party and sleepover. Refused to prep. Top grades at a rigorous private (one of the 3 hours of homework at night ones) despite never studying. 
Is now at the Ivy with a 4.0 in a STEM major, 18 months in.
I had another child who was denied at the same Ivy the next year which at the time didn't make sense (this kid studied diligently throughout high school) but if I'm honest, they picked the right kid. I don't know how they "knew" but assume it came out in the teacher recs. [/quote]

PP, same, we will see where #2 lands who works harder and has a better attitude towards schooling. #1 was really an audiodact, didn't really need school...[/quote]
