挺可惜的，孩子其实很优秀。
同样的stats到我们高中top UC至少没问题。
今年又是一半的子弟进入S。这个优势其他同学没法比。
其实她申请WL/Reject的都是ivy+, 不能保证。但高中生做非营利的board？我知道的都是大人，孩子做各种officer没问题。
这种大学不喜欢？进去真干活的，每周还开会什么的，要做project。
要多-几乎都是这样。这部分简历太画蛇添足了。
这么多reject 估计有一些是stats 不到的，比如essay 暴露了什么问题..推荐信不好...
我听说我们这一个男娃以前申请中学gift program, 很聪明的，但是就被拒了
好像说学校老师给的推荐信不好
都肯定要physic c了、 我的理解就是1 和2 就没必要考
我记得我娃学校没什么人考1和2， 都是C
