[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What a lot of striver parents don't realize is that this is starting to turn off college admissions officers. It paints the kids as automatons who are doing everything to get into college, rather than kids "pursuing their passions." The people who make their kids self-study for APs on top of school are the ones who really look like this. Let your child join a club instead.[/quote] Mine took 10 APs, got 4s and 5s on all the tests, and was in 3 varsity sports a year, plus a club sport outside of school (DC went to the state championships 4 times so these were not resume sports). Sports were a passion. Not all these kids are one dimensional.[/quote]
