[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]you don't need all that volunteer bs, the key is to get recruited for a sport.

pick a sport and rock out in it.

I was in the 02 cycle and was a typical candidate i.e. "70th percentile" but unhooked, and got frozen out of top schools. my younger siblings ('08,'11,'14) candidates all got into top schools as recruited athletes because I figured out the secret after my experience.

OP here. My kid is active in sports, however wasn't interested in that as a hook.

But you've emphasized, again, how ridiculous the whole process is.[/quote]

To clarify, I got into t25 schools but not top10 schools.

My siblings all got into top10 schools and it was clear they wouldn't have without the recruiting hook. Plus they enjoyed their college experience way more than me and did better academically due to the structure of playing said sport and the built in friendships via teammates. [/quote]

which sports?  the Ivy-league type?  lacrosse, crew, water polo, etc.? [/quote]
