[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Like attracts like.  If your kid manages to get into a top 10 college- and through the process remains mentally stable, doesn’t need a therapist, SSRI and a stimulant- then they will be fine in college. They will make friends with other mentally stable people and avoid the ones that are spiraling [/quote]

Why can't some parents accept that the bro, frat culture isn't someone's thing? He barely studied throughout his time at his top private, took the SCT once, got 35+, refused to take again, and has no sense of competing with his peers, just loves his passions (non sports), wasn't a legacy, and got top15. Most of the kids I see that are his peers are the same, love their unique passions, and are naturally very smart, and not competitive.  If you want to sell yourself the lie that they are striving since birth, it is so not true, you either have one of these kids or you don't, can't manufacture them.[/quote]

Agree, I don’t think many understand that these kids are not grinding like you think, high school came easily on most rigorous classes and they scored perfect to near perfect on act/sat with no prep. They are ambitious in college in their passions as that is how they are wired. They want to be doing something and striving towards a goal, most can’t be idle and thrive on busy. [/quote]
