[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Read through a few posts here, many mentioned jobs as EC.  Where did you apply for these jobs that get an unhooked applicant into T10?  A job may be broadly interpreted as including an internship.  Believe these jobs have to tie with your theme of passion or interest to make it work.  So, if your unhooked students get into T10, please share how they get these jobs.  Thanks.[/quote]

I have kids in college now. I was a big proponent of jobs. But I've become skeptical about how effective jobs are-they make for good essays and maybe interviews. But honestly and (sadly) the one thing that I have seen repeatedly help big time is research published in even so called paid/student journals, a name sneaked in a journal paper obviously  with the help of parent connections. I've seen kids with not much else get into Stanford and Caltech. [/quote]

This is big business for college professors …there’s usually a payment involved facilitated by a college counselor - for sneaking kid’s name onto “research” that is published. [/quote]

+3 AOs LOVE seeing published research from 12th grade students. At our private, these are the kids getting in Harvard, Princeton, Stanford, Dartmouth, Columbia, etc. I have chatted with parents of these kids and the research is usually with a person they have a connection to or through one of the paid programs that are all over the internet. It is impressive when the kid has their name on an article with someone at the NIH or a university. AOs still like the non-profits kids (parents) create. I know people think this trend has passed, but I have seen it work (kids going to Princeton and Stanford) in the last year. [/quote]

Yes, it still works but better from a public school student. Private HS students are better off w/jobs to check their privilege.

Read am entire app with the privilege in mind…. You’ll see what needs to change.[/quote]
