[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD is high stats and has zero desire to attend college with a bunch grinders on the spectrum. These are the kind of classes that the T20 have cultivated with their excessive EC requirements and focus on "pointy". [/quote]

+1000 We see this over and over when we visit the top 20 schools. [/quote]

My son is a freshman at a HYP and he’s having the time of his life socially. Working his butt off but playing even harder. I’m awake at 3am because my uber family just buzzed that he’s in a car on the way back to the dorm. This is typical for nights Thursday-Saturday. And, during the week he’s busy with clubs, the gym, his new job, eating out. He’s too busy in his opinion but having too much fun to slow down.

Maybe this is just a unicorn class of well rounded kids but it was something he sensed at revisit days and it’s what convinced him to commit and he hasn’t looked back.

Social fit is really important. My only point is not to slap a label on top schools as being full of “grinders on the spectrum.” In his case, if they are in fact grinders on the spectrum, they like to have a good time. [/quote]
