Sounds like most of you are parents of young kids. You think it's competitive now?? Just wait. How many AP/Honors classes are your kids in - only 1? Oh, I see (smirk). What was his/her ACT/SAT scores - oh, I see (smirk) - he will be retaking them, right? What colleges is he applying to - only 1? What's that about - my son/daughter is applying to 3 "stretch" schools as well as several "name" schools that he expects to get in effortlessly since he was captain of the basketball team, while lettering in 2 other sports, teaching vacation Bible school to blind children and maintaining his 4.3 GPA (did we mention he was the president of NHS and the Spanish club also?). I long for the days when it was about the valentines....lol
