[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think you have to acknowledge that if a reader is going to remember you, you have to be memorable.

standard strong is not memorable in T20 pools. sorry. tell a story. make it easier on the reader to remember you, like you, want to admit you.

if you think that's a game, then just submit your 1540 and your AP scores and your essays about the big loss as a team that taught you more than the big win as an individual. [/quote]

That’s the ironic part — how is a young person developing into a NORMAL adult is not good enough? Don’t they have their own personalities, passions, and interests? The assumption that kids are just grades and a checklist of “typical” extracurriculars, and that anything outside of that doesn’t deserve a place in a good school, is deeply flawed. School is for learning. And if these teenagers put focus on learning during high school and get a good grades, why aren't they not GOOD ENOUGH? What exactly is the point of ranking these schools if they care other things more than academic? You might just call these institutes high end expensive youth clubs!

It’s sad that our society turn into this vanity fair values a narrow, manufactured version of success over the reality of everyday individuality.

It really comes down to a simple question: why can’t they just be themselves?[/quote]

they can be and they do. hundreds of thousands of normal kids go to college. they just aren't among the 1900 accepted to harvard. big deal [/quote]

Sure. Glad the normal kids are majority. Screw that "standard excellent" lame label.[/quote]
