[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it's mostly your kids.  If they have it, they have it.

A lot of posts here reporting it's a waste, but I think mostly it's just mediocre kids.  It's like you need ingredients to cook a dish.  If you don't have the ingredients, then the chef can't make a dish out of it.

Just some food for thoughts.[/quote]
Highly disagree. Most people applying are qualified and could come in. I don’t believe in coaches, but it’s really about being able to sell yourself, not some special innate trait.[/quote]

Ingredients include selling points.  [/quote]

the problem is so many people don't know how to sell themselves. they do all the same activities as everyone else, but somehow expect to stand out and get into T10?
This is helpful to think about it...

We are not talking about the dumb dumbs.  DCUM parents are savy, finance and attorney moms.  They have been selling themselves the whole life.  When they ran into problems, it's not because they don't know how to sell.[/quote]
