Self teaching?

<p>When you make decisions, just make sure you consider why you’re making them. However, read this MIT post on taking too many AP classes (sort of related): [MIT</a> Admissions | Blog Entry: “On APs”](<a href=“http://www.mitadmissions.org/topics/before/recommended_high_school_preparation/on_aps_1.shtml]MIT”>http://www.mitadmissions.org/topics/before/recommended_high_school_preparation/on_aps_1.shtml)</p>

What makes me sad is when students focus on their studies to the detriment of everything else because they think it is what we (college admissions officers) want. I think this is what Marilee is trying to say in the above quote. We believe that balance in life is important: balance between formal and informal studies, balance between work and play, balance between the work of the textbook and the work of the imagination.
