[quote=Anonymous]Our nephew had a terrible college app season. Despite good grades, activities, and being a generally nice and well-liked kid, he was RJ or WL everywhere except one safety. We were really surprised and sorry for him. We just found out he wrote his essay about building huts in Africa on a service trip. The kid goes to a private school and had a private essay counselor. How could no one have told him what a bad essay topic this was? I'm posting in case one of your kids wants to write an essay like this - DON'T LET THEM. In the end, our nephew came off the waitlist at a terrific, big state school that probably doesn't even read the essay, so all's well that ends well, but beware....[/quote]
