What's so embarrassing about it?


OP here. Growing up I was quirky, artsy, crunchy, and politically opinionated. My son is none of those. Just a normal mainstream kid with typical interests such as sports and fitness. Life will be easier for him. I don’t get what I’m supposed to be embarrassed about, I’m happy for him.


You admit your kid is boring, ordinary, mainstream, conventional, and not a critical thinker.

You should be embarrassed that you have failed as a parent.


Are you joking?
This world already has far too many people who take themselves and their opinions very seriously and think they are hot stuff. Sorry not sorry if I did not produce another one.

Besides, you list mainstream and conventional as if those qualities preclude critical thought. That is not the case.

LACs seem to either be super selective or hardly selective at all and there doesn’t seem to be a lot in the middle. What am I missing? Looking for real mid tier not DCUM mid tier.


is he at Private or Public? Is his course load rigorous?

Wow. I hate to feed you, Troll, but you’re nuts.

To state the obvious … having mainstream and conventional interests does not mean someone lacks critical thinking skills or is ordinary or boring.

This is stupid. This is a parent. A regular average parent. OP does not have to explain or justify to any of you idiots. OP is looking for suggestions for their kid. Chill out.

I think what they are saying is they are average, regular kid. A normal kid.

Stop reading too much into this.

I think he would like Holy Cross if okay with catholic. He would need to show high demonstrated interest or participate in one of the ED rounds.
