[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly? I think it's the rare kid who has a really REALLY good, driven, young school counselor who sees the potential and helps them through it.

This kid is likely:
- [b]rural/small city[/b] 
- naturally gifted. very little effort and they're just breezing through
- thinks they are "smart," but doesn't really compare to anyone else in their class and/or school
- doesn't really study for the SAT/ACT because they either don't have the time or access to study materials, yet still gets a strong score
- captain of a team or two because they are popular
- student leader (see above)
- works a [b]minimum wage job to help their family[/b]

maybe:
- [b]first gen college student
- parents/family are working class[/b]

The real challenge for this kid is they get to that ivy or really any college and can they adapt. Can they push through the challenges (not able to go out or don't have much spending money, it's hard to buy books) and persevere?

These kids aren’t rare at all and are heavily hooked. [/quote]
