[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a HYPS alum as well and have conducted admissions interviews. I think part of the problem is so many of these kids ARE brilliant and interesting but have been told that they must excel at a sport, volunteer, lead a club, start a charity, know what they want to study. Of course kids who are packaged for success as if it’s a formula aren’t always as passionate or interesting because they’ve never felt completely free to just explore and figure out what their interests really are. This isn’t true for every kid but it certainly is for some.[/quote] Yes, but don’t you see: these are the conformists who have allowed themselves to be so packaged. By definition, they are not as brilliant and interesting as the non-conformists you never interview.[/quote]
