<p>I second the YAWN–parents, encourage your kids to find something on their own this summer instead of the tired programs that seem to suggest that student can only participate in school and ECs where the idea is handed to them by some structured program, or worse, if mommy and daddy pay. So tired of these . . . For you IVY-crazed parents, I attended an admissions workshop (for one of the coveted) where the DOA pointed out they too are sooooo tired of every kid writing about building latrines in Guatemala: “Really, there must be more latrines than fannies at this point!”</p>
