An awful lot of those posts read like parents coming up with some sort of fantasy list of all the things they think their kid might be able to achieve in the next year or so. I always take them with a grain of salt. (And, frankly, it sounds kind of horrible to be at a school where EVERYONE is a type A workaholic who does literally nothing other than practice their 9 instruments. And, fwiw, I have one of those kids, and they’re pretty intense. Even the most toppest of top schools need to let in a few genial kids who can come up with appropriately low-key small talk at alumni events.)
