Quote from Nancy Donahue in The Test
Paula: Come on, let's not freak Frankie out. I mean, the PSATS aren't the only thing that help a kid get into college. That's why Greg volunteered in the Gulf last summer, cleaning the oil off baby pelicans. Nancy: Oh. And Sean interned at the capitol. Frankie: Okay, come on, guys. They're juniors. Isn't this all a little nuts? I mean, we didn't do any of this stuff when we were kids, right? Nancy: Oh, it's much different now. Did you hear about what happened to Doug Hornburg? He did everything right. Great grades, community service, nailed his SATS. He applied to ten schools and didn't get into one. Now he lives at home and works for the city, picking up dead animals.
