This is why so many people are finding OP insufferable. She is so critical of other students with "worse ECs". I bet those are the kids who were on students council, drama, yearbook, marching band, school sports so they didn't have as many weighted/honors/AP classes. Maybe they were taking care of a sibling or having to have paid employment. Being president of the honor club is not student leadership. Her child didn't do anything to make her school a better place. Her whole application seems like she went along checking boxes to try to get into top ranked colleges.

TBH, state schools are the best places for receiving the best education on engineering.  Harvard's engineering is lacking.  Perhaps state schools are the best fit for one who merely seeking "a good education" on engineering.  [/quote]
