[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So, basically OP’s kid had good grades, no material extra-curricular and no story that they could articulate that made them standout from other academic bots. Reasonable summary?[/quote] This. We hear variations of this all the time here: “TO should be banned,” so says the parent of a kid who tested well. “1580 first try,” so says the parent looking sideways at a super scoring kid. “1560, top 5% of class, denied/deferred?!??” So says parent of a kid who isn’t well rounded. “Those ECs are a dime a dozen…they want a kid who can stand out. My kid stood out by x, y, z…” says the parent of a kid with good ECs. “They should make essays done in person to stop AI use and/or adults helping,” so says parent of a strong writer. Etc etc etc. everyone wants what helps their kid emphasized and what hurts their kid eliminated. [/quote] +1 this is basically the entire thread.[/quote]
