[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hate the game, not the players. [b]We have to start with the assumption that practically all applicants (including hooked) meet a minimum threshold with grades and scores.[/b] It’s not a secret anymore that elite colleges seem to like applicants who have a cohesive narrative versus several unrelated activities. However, we as parents can usually choose whether we want our kids to have a narrative that ties everything together and relates to the potential major…or we can have our kids pursue activities in some random fashion (which is what my kid did). And accept whatever the consequences may be. My kid had several unrelated activities and was rejected by the 1 T-10 to which they applied and waitlisted at a couple T-30’s.
