Kaleigh''s post about her daughter being accepted to Penn, made me start wondering.
(Congrats to her!)
I have a friend who is bragging and boasting all the time about his brilliant daughter. Frankly I''m sick of it. He put down the fact that my daughter goes to UT@Austin (Texas vs USC Rose Bowl!) Even though he went there. She (my daughter) is a UT Presidential Scholar and graduating 1 year early. His daughter is a junior in high school here in Houston and goes to a very competitive public high school. So did my daughter. Anyway, he says she is going to Stanford. She is near the top of her class, belongs to a few clubs and plays competitive soccer. Not a student that has done anything way over the top,academic or extra curr. SAT score so far, over 2000. (new test) From everything I have ever heard, Stanford takes only the very cream of the crop. I am thinking he might be in for a bit of a surprise, but then again, I could be wrong. I hope she does get in, but what does it take to get in to Stanford?
