College admissions
From the NYT, How I Spent Summer Vacation: At Getting-Into-College Camp
No campfires. No hiking. Just hours a day of essay writing, SAT preparation, counseling, mock admission interviews and a potpourri of workshops and college visits, all intended to give high school students an edge on the admission process.What a waste of time. This arms race of admissions is reaching ridiculous proportions and something needs to be done.
