[quote=Anonymous]My kid deliberately made a choice not to do this specialization. Because he enjoys and finds meaning in many things. Not all of them will lead to a T20 college admit but make him a happy person pursuing things he loves with people he enjoys being with. We had a college counselor meeting where they wanted him to quit some activities to double down on others and he declined to do so. He is "high stats" with some cool ECs but only got one T20 admit (and actually decided to attend a T40 instead). So I agree that specialization and a very focused passion is what top schools want but wonder if that is really a good approach for may high school students. Who wants to be curated at 16?[/quote]
