[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If there was no "hook" what got him in? Exceptional test scores and GPA? Extracurriculars?[/quote] It was the packaging of his strengths and playing them up in a smart way. I had a light bulb go off in my head this last last year reading this board. It’s less about the ECs and more about the way DC describes the ECs on the Common App activities lait, parent brag sheets, and essays. It’s stepping back and looking at this as the game it is. Play to “win” however your kid defines that. [/quote] I don’t understand a thing you posted here. But I think your kid did the work, not you.[/quote]
