Admission to Harward, Cambridge, Stanford.......

What does it take? Apparently not onlythe distinctions but this guy who was given an offer by all 3 unis plays the violin, piano and another instrument. He is also a sportsman (cant remember which sport now) and has been to some third world country to teach underprivileged children. How do you get to be like that. Is it genes ? What else could it be.

Cant imagine Alysha becoming a musician coz me and Suben just don't play any instrument at all. I am sure she likes music and will probably take up some instincts in school but to excel in it......I really don't know.

Do parents have to do something in particular to get their kids to be all rounders. How is that done? Someone pls enlighten me ?
