[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So there’s a teen I am trying to help who is white and low income, has a mix of As and Bs (GPA will probably be around 3.5), has one sport (he isn’t good at it), a part time job and a couple of hobbies like reading and sewing. The goal is to help him get into one of the UCs, maybe some private schools, not T10 or anything but a decent school. He won’t be majoring in STEM. Should I advise him to pursue an angle in his essays and PIQs where he writes about his life in low income housing, working to support his family, helping his grandparents? Will this help offset his mediocre grades and ECs? Or it doesn’t matter and he can write about his passion for reading or sewing for example? [/quote] How lazy and rude and who cares? Isn’t this most of America. Or maybe he’s on the high end of the most of white America from the look of things. [/quote]
