For all the HYP rejects posting here, what’s the preferred venue? Attic or basement?

The point is they overly emphasized EC in college admissions. Once you are in, your ECs are never something that needs remedial training.

Someone said that colleges are “smart enough to say that the kids “made the academic cut’ to let them in”, albeit a low standard.

Why can’t they do the same for ECs? Now that every 17 year old is doing insane ECs, curing cancer, raising 10million saving the world, having startups with revolutionary products.

Why can’t they say to the kids, okay you play varsity at school, so you “made the EC cut”?


Because some kids are just better than yours…..accept and move on.

I have absolutely no idea what OP is trying to say.


I think OP is a trifle confused. Harvard is putting their students into remedial math, not remedial Extracurriculars.

Not true. Kids with lower EC scores have to take a mandatory course on establishing and managing non-profits.

Let 1,000 non-profits bloom!

Yes, March is much harder. We will see if the trend continues.
