[quote=Anonymous]I’ve been thinking about this nice kid & all the what score is enough posters. I truly believe that high school should be spent learning about what the DC likes, taking chances, exploring—becoming good people. I don’t think they have to know a career plan, but thy should have a good sense of self. My kids got this through jobs, activities, and sports. I think kids would be better doing what they love (theater, cooking, whatever) and finding a school that values their interests. My kids had solid scores. But what set them apart was a volunteer position that turned into a job and a hobby that turned into a job. They had interesting and unusual experiences and ultimately I think that’s what helped them in admissions. While this student volunteered and sounds well-rounded, perhaps that didn’t come through clearly to admissions. Hoping a waitlist spot comes through for him. [/quote]
