@gallentjill I kind of agree with you about the change in what is considered important. Although it’s quite remarkable what some kids are doing in science or software during high school, so it’s hard not to be impressed by that over a mid-pack athlete. I think you’re right to let your D find a place that values what she does, she’ll be happier there. I sometimes wonder if some people play the game so much to get into the highest ranked school that they end up in the wrong place even though they got in.
