[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids aren't college age but from what I'm reading [b]it is all about having a deep passion,[/b] not having lots of activities on the resume. The selective colleges want students that have the grades along with the ability to contribute to the college community. I think it is harder if your kid hasn't find any long term commitments or the activity is something that doesn't impact anyone else like reading or playing video games.[/quote] This attitude is so ridiculous. Ninety percent of the kids in any high school have no deep, abiding passion for anything. They have likes and dislikes, strengths and weakness, sure. But passion? Give me a break. Probably most adults couldn't tell you what their passion is, so why saddle a teenager with this?[/quote] "Passion" is the new college applicant buzz word. It's becoming almost as common as "diversity".[/quote]
