College Admissions
For university-bound high-school students, application deadlines make the holidays anything but jolly
|
It may look as if no one has a thing to think about except the holidays. Think again. With about half the senior classes at Los Gatos and Saratoga High schools applying to private colleges and universities, some 300 students are staying up until the wee hours to fill out applications and write essays for an average of seven to 15 colleges and simultaneously struggling to maintain their grades. For students determined to find a place at a top-tier university like Harvard, Brown, UC-Berkeley, UCLA or Stanford, this year is the last leg of a Herculean 100-hour-or-more-a-week effort that rivals that of the CEOs at Silicon Valley startups. In fact, the admissions process is becoming so competitive, venture capitalists are betting that helping kids get into college is a money-making matter.
