[quote=Anonymous]My advice is this... Find a passion and do something with it. Elite schools want to see what kids do with the talent that they are given. They want to find kids that are passionate about something and then have the drive to use that passion for good because they are looking for people that will add to their campus "community." Many people think, wow, my kid has never had anything other than an A, he/she should go to a top school. Great grades and high standardized scores are table stakes at elite universities. You have to find differentiating factors. And in the end, if your kid still doesn't get in, they've earned lifelong skills in the process and will find somewhere where they can continue to follow his/her passion.[/quote]
