[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Where are the school activities? I know that this has been mentioned already but just wanted to emphasized again that I would expect a high achiever to be involved in school sports, clubs or other activities that show some dedication to your community. A 1570 SAT isn't nearly as impressive when you have done so little else.  [/quote]

Agree. OP’s DD reads to AO as smart kid but not one involved in her school other than to take classes and the 200 hours is nice, but there are kids doing 200+ each year so near 1000 hours by time applying. And with many schools still being TO this year, the SAT would not have been the advantage may have hoped for. Crazy for sure, but agree with others on here and especially the poster who said they were Ivy but their kid looked elsewhere even with similar stats to OP DD. Parents need to reset dream schools.[/quote]

There’s also a big difference between 200 hours at a women’s shelter and 200 hours at a hospital, which is self-serving for a pre-med student.[/quote]
