How did you get to that conclusion?[/quote]

This is OP. Regarding #7, my own white kid is at a racially and income diverse public high school. Some wealthy white kids decided to write about their experience navigating the school’s diversity and how it opened their eyes to inequality and they documented their personal growth through the 4 years of HS. I personally think this is a very risky topic to get right coming from a place of privilege. Just take note of the backlash against the recently released book - American Dirt. Finally, don’t take my word for it. College admissions blogs and private counselors all say the same thing

#13 - My own kid did not have a perfect ACT but close. She wanted to take it again but when we asked a few experts through emails and free chat sessions, they said don’t waste your time as you have crossed the threshold for top schools. Kid got into first choice Ivy. A different kid who took SAT 4 times to get perfect scores did not do as well in college admissions [/quote]
