[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do we have high stats no ECs boys keep popping up recently?  So many.  [/quote]

Because they stay in their rooms and play video games.[/quote]

This is absolutely NOT true! I’m the parent who posted a couple of days ago about my rising junior son with very high stats but not great EC’s. He also happens to hate video games.

My son is a very hardworking kid who is extremely conscientious about his school work.
I think it’s ridiculous that we live in a society that expects 14 and 15 year olds to have found their passion and to work on that passion all throughout high school to impress college admission officers.

I was an excellent student who had no idea what I wanted to do with my life at 15. I ended up getting a PhD in a STEM discipline from a T20 school and have a successful career. Of course that was about 30 years ago before all the competitive madness with college admissions. [/quote]

This thread is not about you or your kid (unless you are the OP). Calm down and start your own thread. [/quote]
