For example, my sister knows a kid who made straight A’s at a private prep school in Florida and then spent the first few months of his senior year touring Europe with his rock band. He was accepted at Harvard. Some kids are just special. I imagine for Chelsea Clinton that Stanford wasn’t a reach. Every college was probably dying to have her. However, there are thousands of kids who make good grades, take AP courses, and have a variety of EC’s with leadership. Luckily, there are thousands of spots in colleges. It’s just never a guarantee for any one college.
