Exactly @Sportsman88. My S is surrounded by people who are taking the same six-AP course load that he is, and on top of that are doing the “cure cancer” type ECs (literally, in some cases) because they are passionate about that. Those are kids who will thrive at MIT or similar if they get in, but the best don’t actually seem to care about that. They’re doing what they WANT to do. My S has comparatively much weaker ECs but he’s happy with his choices. He knows he’s unlikely to get into an extremely selective school but he’s got a good list of schools where he will thrive.
