[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not to listen to the hysteria. Go with our own instincts/research- which we did for course selection and schools to apply to. My senior has done fantastic this cycle. We wouldn’t have applied to as many schools (17) if we had listened to ourselves.[/quote] We didn’t craft a narrative or any of that nonsense. He just did what he loved.[/quote] ^ which was pretty routine. It’s how you write about it that matters.[/quote] Agree with this, especially for a kid that has strong interests. Our kid had HS, travel, and rec teams in his sport as well as a job coaching and working camps. Some of his coaching was in the language that he studied in immersion K-8. He helped a neighbor who was a retired biologist with some research for fun over the summer and did an international research summer program in the same field and in his immersion language purely for fun. Put together, all of that told a story of a kid with 3 strong interests that had interconnected throughout his life. Nobody was trying to “craft” anything, kid just did what he liked. Now, in college, DS is majoring in a field related to his HS research and minoring in literature of immersion language. [/quote]
