[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well ..... Your kids should be volunteering... Not to get into college ... But really, they need to be doing something for others.[/quote]

I couldn't give two Sh-ts about whether my kids get into Ivies so long as they become happy, kind, and we'll rounded young adults.  Amazing how parents put education above all else, even above the social well being of their child.  To each their own I guess.  I am confident that my kids will go to a good college of their choosing and they will find their path, not the path that I choose for them.[/quote]

I actually have a child at an Ivy.  And two in state schools.  I was totally hands off.  We never did test prep or any of that nonsense.  All three are on academic scholarships, none of it need based.  Two are on full rides.

You don't have to put tremendous pressure on your kids in order for them to succeed.  You just have to be willing to accept that success looks different for everyone.  [/quote]

No Ivy League school gives academic scholarships - all scholarships in the Ivy League is need based.  You are lying.  [/quote]

Except they have a very broad notion of what "need based" means... and why do you care so much?  [/quote]

No "need based" means just that - financial need and financial need only.  I care because the PP is making crap up.  No Ivy League school gives either academic or athletic scholarships.  [/quote]
