[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Intellectually curious kids chomp at the bit to take the hard courses—they love it. Those are the kids these schools want and those are who they get(for unhooked at least).[/quote] The kids who chomp at the bit to take the hardest courses are the boring grinds, and schools use “holistic admissions” exactly in order to limit the number of these kids they accept. Intellectually curious kids are more often interested in one or two subjects, they don’t want to have to endure “hardest courses in all five” - and many correctly regard FL as a big waste of time and effort.[/quote] One mom's boring grid is another mom's intellectual powerhouse Renaissance scholar.
