[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A common myth over on reddit is that teens need "research" experience to get admitted to highly selective colleges. I don't know where the myth started.[/quote] some selective colleges (eg Amherst) have questions on their application form about how much research you’ve done, and where. I think you’re supposed to get your research internship through bugging daddy rather than your professors though. [/quote] My uncle went to Amherst in the 70s and I’m pretty sure there was no such requirement at that time. Why now?[/quote] there were no such requirements at the time I applied to colleges. But now they have these questions. I watched my kid sweat this one. Got waitlisted for Amherst, probably because they didn’t have this kind of background. Read the previous posts about the out of control college admissions industry, uh “system.” [/quote]
