[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, seriously, no mission trips. Unless something funny happened and that's the topic of the essay. But they're a joke among admissions officers - pp got the sentiment right. I got into an Ivy by writing about my favorite pop band. [/quote] OK. So my daughter went to Panama for a school trip and the trip had a homestay component (four nights) where they were living with a Panaman (?), non-English speaking family. Would it be appropriate to write about that and the communication thing? [/quote] Let her give it a go and see how it writes up. But most people here are saying "probably not." [/quote]I agree. Give it a go and see how it turns out. You never know. It could be a winner.[/quote]
