Yeah.  The obvious thing to do is assume that the kids doing STEM ECs in middle school aren't interested in STEM, and the kids not doing STEM ECs are the ones who are super motivated to do STEM because they said so in an essay.   :roll:

For those of us living in reality, yes, it is true that some portion of kids doing STEM ECs are doing them due to pushy parents.  Generally, those kids do not rise to the top in the EC.  The kids not doing STEM ECs either aren't very interested in STEM or can't motivate themselves to put in even a modicum of effort.  I'd rather take a chance on a kid who at least appears to be interested in STEM than a kid who has says that he likes math or science class, but hasn't actually done anything STEM related.  [/quote]

My kid was in a club where the coach said there would be a first cut, and said he was expecting someone to ask how many would be cut.
He wasn't planning to cut anyone, but it was just an excuse for kids who were in there because their parents were pushing them.[/quote]
