[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]"how my sport changed my life."[/quote] My high stats (3.98 GPA/4.53 wGPA/35 ACT, full IB) class of 22 wrote an essay like this (and his sport really did change his life), which I thought was pretty good, and he did not get into most of the selective schools he applied to (Yale, Harvard, Williams (legacy, but didn't apply ED), Amherst, Duke, UVa, MIT). Obviously not getting in to any of those could just be luck of the draw, but I wonder if his essay ended up hurting him.[/quote] Ugh, that's depressing. My child's sport changed her life, too, and I think it's unfair to say this is not a good topic. I'm sure your son would have been a great addition to any of these schools ... they're just so tough. Is he happy where he ended up? [/quote]
