[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The whole "research" thing was news to me. Granted I'm old (51) but I don't recall hearing about a single kid in my high school doing "research" and my high school was one of the top Ivy feeders in the country. When did this become a requirement?[/quote] For the last 2 years, the unhooked admits to Ivies and Ivy+ at my DC’s big3 private have ALL had published research. Every one. [/quote] Published where, though? Sorry, if you say published research the first thing people think of are journals (or at least working papers somewhere reputable) and high schoolers are not pulling that off. Maybe some stem thing with eight authors and the kid did some basic research assistant work, but even then a stretch. I think that’s why people are asking.[/quote]
