My daughter is very spiritual and devout. She isn't writing solely about "church stuff." But her essays are sprinkled with aspects about her faith. Might be a turnoff for some schools, but so be it.

Catholic schools love this.

20 years ago at least, Harvard loved this. I talked all about my faith in my application and interview and got in.

NP: varsity sports (non-recruit), club leader, Debate/Model UN, student gov, music/band, robotics/science fair, volunteering (animal shelters, church, or hospital)

None of those are impressive.
Kid at Ivy.

You are so right - not impressive at all...maintaining excellent grades, getting excellent test scores, pushing your spare time to the brink of exhaustion with clubs, volunteering, sports commitments...yep - none of it is impressive!

...and they wonder why so many kids suffer from anxiety lol
