[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a professor and the idea of strategic position is so nauseating to me that I feel like writing a letter to our admissions office to let them know about what I read in this forum and others. To be clear, I am not attacking the OP. She did what she felt she had to do to benefit her child. However, favoring students with unusual niche interests is clearly not the best way to find the most authentic students. Maybe this approach was more authentic 10 years ago before college admissions officers and parents pushed it en masse, but clearly this is no longer the way. [/quote] professors are all about strategic positioning [/quote] They want the kids with the genuine interests, not the ones cultivated by parents and admissions counselors. [/quote]
