[quote=Anonymous]I'm letting my kid be who they are. Encouraging depth of involvement but not forcing things. Freshman year they got involved in an activity that had a great path to leadership and would have created a great college narrative. I encouraged it. They hated it - didn't like the other kids involved and didn't like the activity. I let it go. How about this - schools stop obsessing about yield and game theory and make the process more normal and predictable. And they make it very clear that they don't like kids who are over-programmed. In exchange, the college counseling industry is completely eliminated so all of these over-curated kids relax and do what they actually enjoy.[/quote]
