[quote=Anonymous]DC is an awesome, incredibly smart and funny, kid, who has an average/lowish GPA from a private in D.C., really strong scores (ACT composite 34), and some really niche interests for extra-curriculars. He's not really come into his own. And definitely a humanities kid, not STEM, who is only looking at LACs. He spent some time working on his essays, I gave some high-level thoughts, older sibling did too. At the end, the essay was interesting and pretty well-written but I felt like it tried to do some ambitious things but didn't really quite pull together about him. But it was definitely written by him, no question, and to my mind showcased both his very catchy writing style and the fact he hasn't quite integrated all those skills yet. Please give me some assurance that this is not a bad thing? Just now sure what the average looks like.[/quote]
