顺便看看我家魔女唱歌跳舞吧：）
有知名作曲家给她作曲，但期末考试，权衡一下，不去了，又成不了气候
唱歌是个人爱好
友情提醒 你把閨女的名字也秀出來了
不同的娃真是不同的talent
您大女儿的competitive dance 经历， 您觉着对申请大学有帮助吗？谢谢！
超级大奖可能就是9分，无争议地牛。没大奖可能就是7分，变borderline，上桌纠结各种细节。
超级大奖还是很少的。
开始写RD的了？我们还在最后的疯狂
我是说大藤
最后我觉得没用：）
我家俩孩子，哎，说起来一脸的泪：）
当然我也不得力

能让别人Wow一下的就是厉害，Wow两下三下的就肯定录了：）
当然兴趣爱好不一定非要跟着升学走，一辈子长着呢
跟stats一样，光看这个是干巴巴的，还要有Essay跟推荐信辅助。
当然根据大奖程度，需要辅助的程度有区别。
AO就像大妈们到菜场买菜，准备一桌年夜饭。不可能只买一种菜，肯定要很多种，而且每种菜的量也基本固定的。
学生所有EC出来就一句话，基本确定是啥做菜的原材料。比如俺娃，很可能就是：Asian boy golfer who can sing and perform on stage
还有比较多的可能：Asian boy pianist, Asian girl dancer, white boy football player, 等等，等等
有大奖的不过是水平高低，原材料质量好坏，但只是在同一个Category竞争。比如dancer跟debater就不好争了。
另外，Essay跟推荐信也能辅助竞争能力，这个是软指标，一样重要。
孩子(包括我家的）对比赛不太care，幸好有老师和学长的建议才参加.
另外，早申不过是多一个被先挑的权利。大妈篮子还是空的，稍稍有点优势：）
俺认识的UCB女生都非常阳光青春，充满活力，你家闺女一定如鱼得水
